It is going to take the ACT close to 8 weeks to report September scores after their change to the essay. I was considering retaking it on December 12 to improve my score, however, now I am afraid that the scores won’t be reported in time to colleges. I know that scores don’t have to be reported when you apply but with how long it’s taking they still might not get there in time. Any thoughts?
If you think you can prep and improve, take the Dec test. Hopefully by Dec things will have improved with the reporting.
