ACT scores are never averaged and most colleges only take a person's best score from one sitting of the exam. However, there are a few colleges and universities out there that will superscore ACT composite scores. "Superscoring" is when, if someone takes multiple ACT tests, colleges will take the best subsections on each of the tests and come up with a new composite. For example, if someone received a 24 in English, 26 in Math, 28 in Science, and a 30 in Reading on their first try, that would be a score of 27. Imagine that they took the test a second time and got a 32 in English, a 30 in Math, a 28 in Science, and a 26 in Reading, which would be a composite score of 29. If a college were to superscore this student's ACT results, this student's new composite score would be a 30, consisting of a 32 in English, a 30 in Math, a 28 in Science, and a 30 in Reading...make sense? I hope so(:
The bare minimum is 29. the average is 32.5
a scale which takes the combined scores of the written test and compares this with the chronological age of the tester. this gives the number called the IQ. 100 is considered average.

Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average of your grades using various point scales. Grade Point Index (GPI) is actually an eligibility index that is used for admissions. Elibility Index or GPI calculation: You can calculate your eligibility index by multiplying your grade point average by 800 and adding your combined score on the SAT, using the combined scores earned on the critical reading and math sections. If you took the ACT, multiply your grade point average by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score. ACT Writing score is not considered in the composite score.
