ACT Superscore Explained: How It's Calculated and Sent

ACT Superscore Explained: How It’s Calculated and Sent An ACT superscore combines your best section scores across multiple ACT test dates into a single composite you can send to colleges. Since September 2025, that composite averages only your top English, Math, and Reading scores, whichever test dates they came from. Here’s what you need to know right now: ACT auto-calculates your superscore in MyACT once you have two or more scored attempts, no request or fee required. You choose whether to send a Superscore Report to colleges, separately from individual test-date reports. Not every college treats superscores the same way.
