SAT and ACT Superscore Calculator
Your SAT superscore is your best Reading and Writing score plus your best Math score, taken from any of your SAT test dates. Your ACT superscore is the average of your best English, math and reading scores from any of your ACT attempts, rounded to the nearest whole number — science no longer counts.
How Each Test Superscores
SAT: take the highest Reading and Writing score you have earned on any date and the highest Math score on any date, and add them. Each section is scored 200–800 in steps of 10, so a superscore runs from 400 to 1600. College Board sends whole test dates, never single sections; a college that superscores picks the best sections out of the dates you send.
ACT: take your best English, best math and best reading scores from any attempts since September 2016, add them, divide by three and round to the nearest whole number, with a half rounding up. That is the same arithmetic as the Composite on the enhanced ACT, which leaves science out: it has been optional since the enhanced test arrived (online in April 2025, on paper in September 2025, in school-day testing from spring 2026), and ACT reports it separately, with a STEM score, rather than in the Composite or the superscore.
Old and new ACTs mix. A best English from a 2024 paper test and a best reading from an enhanced test in 2025 combine into one superscore — ACT uses the best score from each section “regardless of which version of the test that section score came from.” The only thing the old test changes is its own Composite, which averaged four sections including science.
Whether a college superscores at all is that college’s policy, and some ask for every score you have. Check each college’s own testing page before choosing what to send.
SAT Superscore
Worked Example
| Test date | Reading and Writing | Math | Total that day |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 2026 | 650 | 700 | 1350 |
| June 2026 | 700 | 680 | 1380 |
- Best Reading and Writing 700 (June 2026), best Math 700 (March 2026).
- Superscore 1400 — 700 + 700, against a best single day of 1380.
- College Board’s User Group percentile for 1400 is 93, and 1400 concords to an ACT Composite of 31.
Calculate Your SAT Superscore
One row per test date. Leave a box blank if you do not have that score; a section needs a score on at least one date. Nothing you enter leaves this page or is saved.
| Test | Reading and Writing | Math | Total | Remove |

Check the highlighted boxes: each SAT section score is a multiple of 10 from 200 to 800. They are left out until they are.

Enter a Reading and Writing score and a Math score — on the same date or on different ones — to see your superscore. The percentile is College Board’s User Group percentile; the ACT equivalent is the 2018 concordance, which covers SAT totals from 590 up.
ACT Superscore
Worked Example: an Old ACT and a New One
| Test | English | Math | Reading | Science | Composite that day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2025, on paper (legacy) | 30 | 27 | 32 | 29 | 30 |
| October 2025 (enhanced) | 28 | 31 | 29 | 30 | 29 |
- The legacy test’s Composite averaged four sections, science included: 30 + 27 + 32 + 29 = 118, ÷ 4 = 29.50, which rounds up to 30 because a half rounds up.
- The enhanced test’s averaged three and left science out: 28 + 31 + 29 = 88, ÷ 3 = 29.33, so 29.
- Superscore 31 — best English, math and reading from either test: 30 + 31 + 32 = 93, ÷ 3 = 31, against a best single day of 30. Science is not in it.
- ACT’s National Rank for 31 is 96, and 31 concords to an SAT total of 1400 (1390–1410).
Calculate Your ACT Superscore
One row per attempt. Choose Legacy for a test before the enhanced ACT reached it, so that row’s own Composite includes science; the superscore is the same either way. Science is optional on the enhanced test. Nothing you enter leaves this page or is saved.
| Test | Version | English | Math | Reading | Science (optional) | Composite | Remove |

Check the highlighted boxes: each ACT section score is a whole number from 1 to 36. They are left out until they are.
