Supercharging my ACT: Who Superscores?

Hey there! I've taken the ACT multiple times and my scores vary a bit on different sections. I heard about superscoring, where some colleges take the highest score from each section across test dates. Does anyone know which colleges use this system?

Many colleges these days do superscore the ACT, meaning they will take your highest section scores across multiple sittings and combine them for the highest possible composite score. Just be aware that policies do vary, and there are some colleges that do not superscore the ACT, but rather will consider your highest composite score from a single sitting.

Here's a few colleges that do superscore the ACT:

1. Stanford University

2. Cornell University

3. University of Chicago

4. Amherst College

5. Duke University

On the other hand, some colleges like the University of California system and University of Wisconsin, Madison only consider the highest composite score from a single sitting.

In any case, it's important to visit each prospective college's admissions website or contact their admissions office directly to confirm their policy. Policies can change, so the best way to get the most accurate information is to reach out to the colleges directly. Plus, this also provides you an opportunity to ask any more ACT related questions you might have!
