ACT Scores

ACT Scores

The Office accepts official ACT composite scores, Superscores, and enhanced scores for eligibility for state aid.  

How to Submit ACT Scores

Students 

The Office will only accept ACT scores/Superscores from ACT score reports that indicate your full name, ACT ID, test date, and score information. The Office will accept an official SAT score report instead of an ACT score.

If you have a copy of your official ACT score report, follow these instructions to submit the document. If you do not have a copy of your official ACT score report to submit, you may:

  1. Request your high school counselor submit the score for you through MAAPP, or
  2. Log into your MyACT account (my.act.org) and request your scores be sent to a new institution.  Send scores to the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid (institution code #2431). There may be an additional fee to submit scores.  After sending your scores, please allow us two weeks to receive and process the scores before contacting us.  Please do not pay for more than one score submission.

  • ACT WorkKeys
  • ACT scores obtained after a student begins college coursework

Counselors 

You can report both a composite score with test date and/or a Superscore in MAAPP.  Superscores may also be submitted as part of the high school grade file.  Superscores should only be reported if the Superscore was calculated by ACT and appeared in an ACT publication (score report, score file, or the student’s MyACT account).  Do not submit a composite or Superscore that you have manually calculated.

ACT Superscores

ACT Superscoring takes the highest ACT subject test score across all administrations and recalculates a composite score based on the highest subtest scores. 

To learn more about ACT Superscores, visit the ACT website.

Enhanced ACT

ACT has transitioned to the enhanced ACT, which no longer requires the science subtest. As a result, ACT Superscores are now calculated using English, math, and reading. The Office will not recalculate Superscores to include the science subtest.
