[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school. Look at whether the CDS references a composite or a superscore. If it’s composite, then student should aim for 75th percentile in a single setting. [/quote] What does that mean?[/quote] Don’t assume. Look at each schools’ common data set (or website) to see if the score range listed is a composite score (single setting), or superscore. My DC had her heart set on Northwestern and thought her 33 superscore/32 composite ACT was good enough. But NU specifically looks at the composite. She was advised to retake and bring up the composite (not simply focus on her weaker sections). Second time she scored a 34 composite (35 superscore) and was admitted ED. My point is to always read the fine print on the testing piece. [/quote]
