ACT superscore calculator
Enter your section scores from each ACT you've taken. We pick your best English, Math and Reading and average them the way ACT does, so you can see the Superscore a college may use.
Your superscore
Enter the 1–36 score for each section from each score report. A test only counts once English, Math and Reading are filled in. Shaded boxes marked Best are the highest score in each section.

How ACT superscoring works
- Take your highest English, Math and Reading scores from any ACT since September 2016. Old and enhanced tests both count.
- Add the three and divide by 3.
- Round to the nearest whole number. Halves round up.
Say your first ACT was 26 English, 24 Math and 27 Reading, and your second was 25, 27 and 26. Your best sections are 26, 27 and 27, so the Superscore is 27, against 26 for your best single test.
Before September 2025, Composites averaged all four sections, Science included. Scores from those tests weren't recalculated, but every new Composite and Superscore now uses English, Math and Reading only. Need a section score first? Use the ACT score calculator.
