<p>Hi, I'm an int. student from Hong Kong.
I've taken the ACT twice, and unfortunately, they are having a same composite.
I know Berkeley only reads (supposedly) a highest score from a single test date, so I would like to have some comments on reporting which test date.</p>
<p>So, the 1st ACT is comparatively weak in English and Combined Eng/Writing, and the 2nd ACT is weak in Reading. Considering each of them has some "defects", which one is better to be reported? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, I’ll retake it on next test date (December 14, 2013). However, the score won’t be able to be sent to the school before the application deadline, so I’d probably have to choose a relatively better score from these 2…</p>
<p>According to the Cal website, the admissions committee do not just look at your composite score but also the individual subject scores. Having that in mind, I’d rather submit the one with the highest maths score, since you’re applying to the college of engineering. In this case, it’s the 2nd try that has the highest maths score, which is 36. And the science score of 35 is also a very good subject score. If you can supplement your scores through TOEFL or IELTS, submit it if you scored exceptionally high.</p>
<p>My TOEFL is 101 (reading 24, listening 25, speaking 23, writing 29), it is not exceptionally high, but is not very low too. Maybe I should send it to them to “compensate” the low 22 reading score in ACT (?)</p>
<p>I can’t follow with the kind of scoring they have now. During my time a 650 TOEFL score is a very good score, and most top US schools would only need 550. If you can submit to them what was the equivalent of 600 before to now, then that would help them able to evaluate your English language skills even more.</p>
