ACT Score Report Question/ Which Score to Send?

<p>On the official score report sent to colleges, does ACT provide the breakdown or do they just send the composite?</p>

<p>Also, I took the ACT in June and got a 33 (English - 33, Math - 35, Reading - 30, Science - 33); I retook it in September and got a 34 (English - 36, Math - 34, Reading - 29, Science - 35). I improved significantly in English and Science but dropped 1 point in Math and Reading. Which is the better score and which should I send?...I know some schools superscore the ACT, but I'm worried if I send both scores the drop in Math and Reading will affect me negatively..</p>

<p>My first choice school is Cornell (idk if this helps lol).</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>The scores sent to any college should include both breakdowns and composites; you can’t control what gets sent. </p>

<p>In terms of getting a higher composite, but lower in your Math and Reading, I would send in both, because it shows that 1) you are not trying to hide anything from them, and 2) that you have the potential to increase your score. In addition, colleges usually just look at the highest scores from multiple tests that you took, so it would be beneficial to send in both. I hope this helps!</p>

<p>Be aware Cornell requires you to send all scores. Thus, you have no choice but to send both. Your differences are not enough to make any difference in the admission decsion and you will be fine sending both.</p>
