Calculating your Superscore

For academic scholarships

Financial Aid > Scholarships Grants > Superscore

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, or superscore, by averaging the highest subject scores. Here's 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, or super-score, for the student, adding together the highest subject scores that the student has received.
