ACT Deleting scores questions

Hi everyone, just have a few quick questions: If i delete one of my ACT scores, would it show up as “invalid” if a uni asks for my full testing history, or would it just not show a result for that test date?
Secondly, I’ve done the ACT 3 times now, and my highest composite is 31, but my super score is 33. Do you think this is alarming for uni, given that the difference between my composite and super score is quite big? The inconsistencies are in science and reading- on my second go, i got 23 in reading and 35 in science, but in my 3rd go i got 31 in reading and 27 in science. Do you think it would be worth me taking it a 4th time to try and to the composite up to a 32+ Are these inconsistencies going to damage my chances?
Does taking the ACT 4 times reflect badly to unis?
Lastly, unit like brown and cornell say that they consider highest subscores, but do not super score- how would they compare applicants in this case- my highest composite is 31, but my highest subscores are E32, M34, R31, S35 (Super score 33)
Any answers would be much appreciated
Thanks :slight_smile:

When you submit two or more tests, colleges will use for admission either that test with the highest composite, or, alternatively, via superscoring, the highest section scores from the multiple tests. All assert they do not use lower scores against you (except, of course, if the college uses only that test with the highest composite, that test might have a lower section score than another test). Some asssert that they believe it unhelpful to take a test more than two or three times but none say they will actually consider the number of times you take a test against you.

As to deleting a test through ACT, the deletion eliminates the test score record, and ACT will send nothing to colleges to even indicate you took the test. However, you need to check what your high school does. Test scores are sent to your high school when released. If you then delete a test with ACT, ACT usually sends notice to the high school that the test has been deleted. Though it should delete your score, your high schbool may keep your ACT score in your high school record, which could mean when it sends a transcript to colleges when you apply for admission, your score could still show up on your transcript. Thus, before decidng to detele a score with ACT, you should check to assure that your high school will not be putting the score on your transcript that is sent to colleges.
