Antarius, I respectfully disagree. The ACT composite score can be described as the “average” score of the sections from one test date.

[Future Owls](Office of Admission | Rice University)

“Rice uses the highest scores from any sitting on the SAT in order to consider each applicant’s most positive test results. Recognizing that this policy could disadvantage those students who cannot afford repeated testing or expensive test prep coaching, we believe a comprehensive testing history provides us with the appropriate context required for making a fair judgment of what the test scores mean in a holistic admission process. Therefore, we require all applicants submitting the SAT to submit all scores to Rice. The ACT does not condone splitting and combining subscores from multiple sittings, therefore, it is Rice’s policy to use the highest ACT composite score in admission consideration.”
