Ivy League Tutoring strongly recommends that you order and pay for a Test Information Release (TIR) at the time of registration in order to receive a copy of the test booklet with a list of your answers and the answer key. If you took the writing test, you will also receive a copy of the writing prompt, scoring rubric and scores assigned. Available for only three test dates per year, the TIR provides you with the opportunity to review the questions you missed (with a tutor or independently) to improve upon your score.
The score which colleges care the most about is the ACT composite score, which ranges from 1-36. The composite score is calculated by adding the four sub-test scores for English, Mathematics, Reading and Science (each on a scale of 1-36) and dividing by four to get the average.
ACT now provides an automatically calculated ACT superscore to all students who have taken the ACT more than once from September 2016 to current day. The ACT Superscore is advantageous because it takes the average of your four highest subject scores from multiple test dates and counts it as your official score.
Colleges set their own policies about superscoring, so students should refer to individual college admission websites to determine each college’s policy towards superscoring. If information about ACT superscoring is not posted on the college’s website, you can call the admissions office to inquire about the policy.

ACT is currently conducting a pilot program for an online testing option for the ACT test at specific test centers in the United States. This means that when you register to take the ACT, you will have the choice to select either the traditional paper format or the new online format, depending on your personal preference. The ACT online and the paper format will have the same test content and length.
During the December 2023 ACT national test event, ACT will offer the online option to 5,000 students as part of the pilot program. When registration opens for test dates from Fall 2023 to Summer 2024 in July 2023, you will see “Computer” and “Paper” as options for selecting your preferred testing format. It’s important to note that during the initial stages of this pilot program, there may be limited availability of nearby test centers if you choose “Computer.”
Thank you so much for being the best teacher I have ever had. You are a very nice person and taught me many things I had missed in previous years. Your giving me time to figure things out on my own gave me more confidence and made me believe in myself.
