Test Scores

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am in the middle of applying to colleges and I noticed that only a handlful of schools allow you to "mix and match" sections scores from different test dates. I took the ACT three times (composites individually of 27, 28 and 28), but if you do the whole mix and match my new composite would be a 30.
Can anyone tell me of schools that follow this policy?
Thanks</p>

<p>P.S. I know Florida State does</p>

<p>If you want to "mix and match" take the SAT. Almost all schools superscore the SAT.</p>

<p>Very few schools superscore the ACT. The composite isn't just adding up the sections, as it is with the SAT. It's a more complicated calculation, so superscoring isn't done.</p>

<p>I'll have to check to see how many other colleges have a policy like that. To the best of my knowledge (agreeing with Chedva) that is an unusual policy. Considering the SAT scores section-by-section is a lot more common.</p>

<p>UF does it as well. When we visited, we were told by a UF Admissions Officer he "didn't care if kids took the SAT 12 times, they would take only the best scores". The implication was the same for the ACT.</p>

<p>I never got that sentiment from UF</p>
