Deleting ACT Scores?

<p>I did very bad on the ACT, a lot worse than the SAT for some reason. So I called the ACT people and they said I can delete my scores, even after they have been sent to colleges and scholarship programs. And that the schools will then have no ACT test scores from me. </p>

<p>Has anyone ever heard, or done this before? Is it a good idea since the score was pretty bad?</p>

<p>I am confused. Would you then have to contact the schools and ask that they remove the ACT scores from your file? Would they do that?</p>

<p>I’m not sure, the ACT people said that they would tell each school/scholarship on my list that the scores were deleted, and supposedly they would then remove them from my records.</p>

<p>Thats what I’m confused about also, I don’t know that all works for sure.</p>
