Reporting ACT scores

Probably a dumb question, but D25 decided to start on the Common App because she “was bored and likes filling out forms.” If she took the ACT twice and got 36 composite on the second, should she only report one score even if on one section she scored higher on the first ACT? It asks for the highest score on each section, but I’m thinking it’s just the highest score of the tests you are reporting? Thanks.

What it says - if the highest score is from two tests, then that’s what you report.

Schools will ask if they don’t take a super score in their section - and for schools that don’t take a super score, you’ll save money - one less report.

But those that super score will want to see the sections you report - so both tests.

Thanks. She had been planning to just report one score but it makes sense given that they want the highest score in each section.
