<p>I am a rising Junior, and I recently took the June ACT. I primarily took the test to gauge how much I will need to improve to reach my goal score. My question is where or not colleges can see all of your scores and how many times you took the test. I know that some schools require that you send in all SAT scores. Does this apply to the ACT as well? The more times I take it the better, but can the colleges I apply to see that I might take it 3+ times? All responses are appreciated!</p>
<p>While some colleges do request that you send all your ACT scores, ACT only will only release the particular score that you ask for them to send (meaning if you choose not to send all, colleges won’t see all of them). Here is their articulated policy from the website:</p>
<p>“If you have taken the ACT (No Writing) or ACT Plus Writing more than once, we maintain a separate record for each test date. If you ask us to send a report to a college, we will release only the record from the test date you request. This protects you and ensures that you direct the reporting of your scores. If you wish, you may ask us to report more than one test date record to a college. However, you may not select test scores from different test dates to construct a new record; you must designate an entire test date record as it stands. ACT does not create new records by combining scores from different test dates.”</p>
<p>I took the test three times – 34 on February, 34 on April, and 36 on June.</p>
<p>Some high schools have ACT scores on the transcript. Find out if that’s the case in your school.</p>
