<p>I got a 29 composite, was hoping my essay would bring my reading up to a 30(got a 29) but I got a 10 and it stayed the same. If my reading was a 30 my composite would be 30.</p>

<p>My real average was 29.25, I was wondering if colleges look at that and see it as greater than someone with a 28.5 but got the extra rounding.</p>

<p>If I had the exact same credentials as someone else but my score on the ACT was .75 higher than my "competitor" would colleges take that information into account?</p>

<p>colleges receive your individual section scores, so yes, your 29.25 will look different from a 28.5 because your section scores will be higher.</p>
