Why do many schools superscore the SAT but not superscore the ACT?

It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Some schools also state something like “For the ACT, we consider the highest scores submitted for each section; however, we do not calculate a super scored ACT Composite score.”

It’s a technical thing. Their actual computer system and the way the ACT reports scores do not allow for superscoring. HOWEVER, most schools really do consider your highest sections, so it shouldn’t really matter much.

@MAS9797 But if that’d be the only reason, then why doesn’t the ACT change the way it reports scores? It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

@nadinem123 Idk, to be honest. That’s what an admissions officer at an Ivy said.
