Not sure if I should take the ACT again.

Posted 4 months ago Composite: 29 English: 26 Math: 25 Reading: 35 Science: 30 I know I could improve on the Math and English, but unless I keep the reading that high again it wouldn't help much if at all. Do you think I should take it again or stick with this? |

| Posted 4 months ago Definitely take it again! I got a 29 my first time and a 29 the second time - not much changed. However, it is one of my BIGGEST regrets that I didn't take it a third time. I really think I could have boosted my score up just one point to a 30. Many colleges draw the line for their scholarship money between 29 and 30, so I think I could have gotten more scholarship money with a 30. Take it again...what could it hurt?! Good luck! |

| Posted 3 months ago I'd go for it. Keep in mind, I took the ACT two times. On the first time, my composite was a 21. The second time, I got a 20. The first time, I had pretty decent scores everything, except in math where I got an 18. The second time, I got an 19 in math, and all of my other scores went down. I don't feel bad about it. I'm going to a great college. That shows you how standarized test scores aren't that important. As long as you have a good grades and some school activities. |

| Posted 3 months ago Take it as much as you can. I had a composite of 21 my first time and 23 my second. Def. take it as many times as you can, all you can do is improve! |

| Posted 3 months ago Ok here are my thoughts on that.... I took the ACT through my high school. All of my friends did like way better than me but I still got a 24 on it. The colleges that I am looking at don't expect anything higher than a 21, which I obviously got. I don't plan on taking it again but that is because I am happy with what I got. However, if you want to take it again, go for it! You already did a lot better than me!!! Have fun!! |
