[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone clarify- ACT Composite from one single sitting on one single date is what is self reported on Common App. You can then send ONLY this singular test if this each sub section on this test is your highest? If you bombed every section on your first attempt, you will never have to send this test to colleges since you are self reporting data only from the single test?  Alternatively, if you do have higher sub sections you choose to list below the compooist from subsequent attempts, you could still never have to send the original test you bombed ever? Thank you.

Yes. You report a composite from one single test date- with date achieved- not your composite score.

Underneath that you enter highest score for subsections and date achieved.  They can be from different test dates.  But the composite on common app is from a single test date.

Then- when superscore report is officially sent it will provide scores from each test date used to get the highest composite.  They will see all score from that single date.

I have a Senior and just went through this. [/quote]

Sorry to be asking but I am confused.  My son got a 33 in Feb and a 33 in April but did better and worse in sections so the super score is a 34. Are you saying he would put the 33 as his highest composite score on the common app but then list down the sub scores so colleges will see the super score is a 34? Thank you![/quote]
