ACT Score Help

Test Preparation

<p>The first time I took the ACT my composite score was a 30 with a math score of 34. Awesome right?</p>

<p>The second time my composite score went up to a 33. Even better. </p>

<p>Unfortunately my math score dropped to a 29, just a hard section for me that day.</p>

<p>I know unlike the SAT, colleges do not superscore the ACT. Is it worth my while to submit both ACT scores or just stick with the 33. My intended major is actuarial science and it is definitely math geared. I don't know how to go about this. If I can't raise my scores in September what should I do?</p>

<p>Did you take math subject tests? If so consider that in your decision.</p>

<p>some schools do superscore the ACT, so you should check them out.</p>

<p>Given your scores, personally I’d retake in September. You can probably raise that math grade, and end up with a 34-c.</p>

<p>You should consider sending both unless there is an affordability issue. As noted many colleges actually do superscore ACT, see [Free</a> Test Prep Blog » List of Colleges and Universities that Superscore the ACT Test.](<a href=“http://www.freetestprep.com/blog/resources/list-of-colleges-and-universities-that-superscore-the-act-test/]Free”>http://www.freetestprep.com/blog/resources/list-of-colleges-and-universities-that-superscore-the-act-test/) Some others may not superscore but may consider higher scores on certain sections for certain majors (math for actuarial science would be one) and may consider a higher section score for placement or scholarship purposes after being admitted.</p>
