ACT multiple sittings

Applying to College
1

<p>I took the ACT 5 times:</p>

<ol>
<li>27</li>
<li>31</li>
<li>31</li>
<li>31 (A state required test)</li>
<li>29 (Haha, I thought I could get a 32 or something... :P)</li>
</ol>

<p>So I ended up giving up on my quest for a higher ACT score after the fifth sitting. But it wasn't until TODAY that I found out a school I was applying to implemented a NO SCORE CHOICE policy for both SATs and ACTs.</p>

<p>I took the SAT twice and got a 2150 on the second one. Both my SAT and ACT scores are somewhat similar. I'm not sure if it'll look bad when they see I took the ACT five times... Should I send in just my SAT scores? The website states that they "encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but [they] do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation."</p>

<p>I'm still iffy on whether they'll think badly of me. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Wow haha imagine if you got like a 32 on the 5th one. But seriously, which school(s) are you specifically referring to? Some schools don’t mandate that you send in all scores, while others do. I don’t think it’ll hurt you that much since most of your scores are 31 and they’re all very close together. But I’m not an admissions officer.</p>

<p>If a 2150 is like a 31, then just send the SAT.</p>

<p>You can pick and chose which test scores ACT sends out. I would look at the sub scores of the 31’s and chose accordingly.</p>
