How Many New Colleges will look at ACT Superscores After Section Retesting Becomes Available?

Will colleges still place a higher value on single sitting ACT scores even if they allow superscoring? I recently got a very good score single sitting first try and I’d be very mad if someone could superscore up to the same score and have the same consideration.

I am not sure any college that superscores places a higher value on a single sitting score. Have any AOs told you they do that?

Further, many schools that don’t formally superscore, do look at highest section scores, even if they don’t recalculate a superscored composite.

The idea is to use the combination of test scores that make an applicant the strongest.

…Then there are the 1,100 or so schools that are test optional…where students who submit test scores compete alongside those who didn’t submit a score.
