<p>As a seventh and eighth grader, I took the ACT through a talent search program and got a 28 then 35 (Reading: 34, English: 34, Science: 35, Math: 36). These are actual results that I am allowed, if I want, to send to colleges officially, not prep scores, by the way, so I can use them. I am taking the PSAT this week (as a freshman) through the school, and didn't plan to retake the ACT. However, the school counselor says that most big schools want a "more current assessment of your abilities." I am going to take the real SAT soon, too, but I still don't know whether or not to retake the ACT anytime, as the scores are held for 5 years- until I graduate, luckily. Should I retake? and if so, now, or as a junior or senior? thanks :)</p>
<p>I 35 is a really, really, good score. I don’t think that you need to retake it, but you always could in a couple of years and go for a 36.</p>
