<p>I want to delete my ACT scores, but I don't know if I have to tell them why in the letter that I have to send them in order for them to delete my scores.</p>
<p>You’re so paranoid about that cheating thing, LOL. No, you don’t have to tell them why.</p>
<p>Hey at least I feel guilty about it and don’t want to use the scores like most people probably would.</p>
<p>ACT: “Why do you want to delete these scores”</p>
<p>You: “I feel these scores do not reflect my true understanding of the material … I want a sitting which better reflects my ability to be the one schools see … so I’d like the previous sitting canceled”</p>
<p>I believe this would be a truthful response without throwing yourself under the bus.</p>
<p>PS - I think it is great you are trying to fix the issue and are NOT taking advantage of the scores … everyone messes up; the real test of character is what one does in response to their mistakes (and especially when no one else will know if you do the right thing or not)</p>
<p>Okay. Thank you so much :)</p>
<p>Does anyone by any chance know how long it would take to delete the scores? Because I have to send my transcript/applications in soon and my ACT scores are on my transcript…</p>
