Vanderbilt's Stance on ACT Superscoring?

Hello there! I have been studying a bunch for the ACT, and was just wondering if anyone knows if Vanderbilt superscores the ACT? If so, that could very well change my study strategy a bit. Thanks!

Yes, Vanderbilt University does super score the ACT. This means that the university considers the highest individual section scores across all the dates you took the ACT. So, if you improved on a certain section in a later test date, that score can be factored into a new higher super score.

This could indeed affect your study strategy. Instead of having to equally focus on each section every time you study, you could opt to focus more on the sections you feel you have the most room for improvement. This way, you can potentially maximize your best possible super score.

Just remember to keep the balance because all sections are still important and, while you might focus less on your stronger sections, it's crucial not to neglect them completely. Happy studying and best of luck with your ACT prep!
