Todd,
Thanks for this website I use it often. I have one very basic question. Is there ONE universally used METHOD for super-scoring the ACT? Is it as simple as adding together the 9 highest sub-scores from English, Math, Reading and Science and then dividing by 9? Or is there some weighting of different sections involved? Do different schools super-score using different methods? Is the English/Writing score used for super-scoring? The essay score?

I got a 88 english, 76 math, 79 reading, 76 science (and a 65 writing) first test, and a 78 english, 75 math, 79 reading, and 78 science second test. Only went up in science. What would my superscore be for these two test scores, and would you report the second test to the schools that superscore? Thanks

The system will need to make cuts to keep its budget balanced this year, system spokesman Kenn Marshall said, noting increased costs incurred due to contract settlements. He said the system has asked for a $66 million funding increase from the state for 7567-68, but with the state&rsquo s deficit, it&rsquo s not clear what the governor will propose next month.

Yes, we 8775 super-score 8776 both the SAT and ACT. We 8767 ll use the highest score for each section of the test from all test dates. Thanks.
What would you advise for Ivy application-Harvard, Princeton, Duke: First time ACT Composite 88 with a breakdown 86 E, 89 M, 89 R, 76 S, 87 Writing (JUNE 7567) Then a retake in October 7567: Composite 85, 88 E, 85 M, 85 R, 85 S, 85 Writing. Should I send both scores or sit with the 85. Both tests were with minimal study and being used as a second to a superstore SAT. Will these schools penalize me for the first low Science if I want to pursue sciences.
Todd,
i have taken the ACT with writing twice and got good scores. i want to take the ACT again to increase my composite score but do i have to take it with writing still? or will schools take my best composite score and my writing score even if they werent taken on the same test?thanks.
My policy is to tell students if it makes THAT much difference, . if they believe their admissions or financial aid package hinges on whether a school superscores or not, then they should do their do diligence and call the school directly (however, sadly, from the comments here, not even that is a guarantee I just hope that when it comes to the people on the admissions committee that THEY are all on the same page with their own policy!). I see from your comments that you 8767 ve told students the same thing in essence if they are not sure.
** University of Virginia does not combine subscores to reach a superscore composite but they do consider the best subscores from different tests.
Also, if you have taken very challenging classes such as 5 advanced placements and have gotten B 8767 s and A 8767 s would colleges prefer that over taking only one or two advanced placements and receiving a majority of A 8767 s?
Cornell has been on the list and off now 9 times because every time someone talks with them they give a different answer. I will take them off the list for now until I hear from someone.
