Decision time?

<p>I got:</p>

<p>English = 33
Math = 34 (18, 16, 16)
Reading = 29 (16, 13)
Science = 35
Composite: 33</p>

<p>First of all, this is a completely serious thread. No trolls or anything here. </p>

<p>Now, if I want to apply to Yale (or any other college that asks for ALL testing sessions), would it even be worth it to take it again to raise the score by 2 or 3 points? I'm pretty confident that I could raise the reading score to a 34-35 and therefore raise my composite. But... if I take it again, would it be against me on my application?</p>

<p>Is this with or without writing? I took it the first time without writing and got a 35. I was incredibly peeved when I learned that some schools I plan to apply to require the writing section and had to retake. With that said, I got a 36 on the second attempt and don’t regret the decision at all (Of course hindsight is 20/20). So just know that there can certainly be a payoff. </p>

<p>Also, how many times have you taken the ACT? The general, acceptable limit is 3.</p>

<p>Yes, it was with writing, but my scores for that aren’t in yet. And this is my first time.</p>

<p>If this was your first time and you feel you can up your reading score then I would certainly retake it.</p>
