Super-Scoring on the ACT and SAT

The composite score on the ACT is calculated by averaging four individual subject scores(English, Reading, Math, and Science).  When a student takes the ACT more than once, JBU will make a new composite score for the student, averaging the highest subject scores. See below for an example:

	ACT 1	ACT 2	ACT 3
English	25	27	24
Reading	26	23	29
Science	30	29	28
Math	31	33	32
Composite	28	28	28

Superscore: 30

 

The composite score on the SAT is calculated by adding together two subject scores (Verbal and Math). When a student takes the SAT more than once, JBU will make a new composite score for the student, adding together the highest subject scores that the student has received.
