Do a majority of schools accept superscores, or is it the other way around?
Answered

Just wondering if superstores will help you out for most schools, and schools like the UCs and others that don't accept superstores are just outliers?

Thank you!!

While a list was already given for schools that don't superscore SAT and ACT, something important to know is that starting this fall, the ACT will allow you to superscore your own score and send that composite score to colleges without telling them if it's superscrored or not. You can pick which score from each section you want to send, and they'll combine those scores to give you a new composite score. This can then be sent to colleges and they won't know if you scored that on just one test or on multiple. Because it is an official score from the ACT, all colleges will accept it.
