On the past apps that I have filled out, there was always only one line for you to type in your ACT score. But on the URochester app, it provides 3 separate SAT scores and three separate ACT scores and the breakdown for each.
Who the heck is going to put down more than one ACT score??? Wouldn’t you just put down your highest score?
Well, this got me thinking. My ACT score is decent. I took it a couple times, but went down a point on the recent test :(. But my breakdown completely flips from one test to the next, and if combined, it results in a one point composite increase. On the ACT that I did well on, I did extremely well on the science, while mediocre on the english. This past time, I did extremely well on the english portion, but not well on the science.
So do you guys think I should type in both scores, or should I simply put my highest one? I’d also have to decide whether or not to send both scores too.
<p>I would just put the highest composite score. Most universities don't even look at sub-scores, which I find ridiculous. I wish more schools just looked at the english and math scores since that's all that really matters. You can't really equate the ACT to the SAT because the ACT has stuff that the SAT doesn't even have.</p>
<p>I sent in my URochester app yesterday (or maybe the day before, i dont remember), but I put more than one test down for the ACT. I had the same situation as you, so i opted to put more than my highest test score. I didnt know they didnt look at subscores (like omniscient said), but oh well.</p>
<p>Skyhigh5, call the school and find out if they will take the highest subscores from more than one ACT. Some schools are interested in just one or two of the subscores. GaTech cares more about the math subscore (a high composite but low math is not good at GaTech).</p>
