Can you send only one ACT score?
Although most haven’t stated it outright on their websites, most schools that previously required all ACT scores are now accepting none or only one ACT score, even if you took the exam multiple times. As always though, it’s best to contact a school directly to be sure you’re correctly following their guidelines.
Can you choose which ACT scores to send?
If a student takes the ACT multiple times, he or she can select which test date scores to submit to colleges. However, students cannot pick and choose individual section scores from different test dates to create a new composite score or “super score.”
Do you have to send all your ACT scores?
There is no reason to send all of your ACT scores to a school if they don’t require them, even if they superscore. A superscore is when a college takes the highest score from each subsection, even if those scores come from different test dates, to calculate a new score using your best performances.
How do I send my ACT scores without paying?

Do colleges see individual ACT scores?
Colleges see much of the same information as you see on your ACT score report: they see your composite score, along with your scaled score for each section of the test (Reading, English, Math, and Science) and your subscores for each section.
