<p>Im a senior, on the october act I got a 31 composite on first try. 36 reading, 35 english, 26 math, 25 science. I was trying for a 32 to get into hopkins, penn or NYU. should i retake it? also does it look bad that i did so poorly on science and math?</p>
<p>Although that is still a good score I would practice the science section more. Someone who does well in Reading shouldn’t have too much trouble with science, so maybe it was a time restraint issue? how much did you study before?</p>
<p>Go for it again. You don’t want to live with any regrets! Plus, a higher score only helps you. Study some more, and retake.</p>
<p>You have a great chance at getting a 34-36 if you bring your math and science up. definitely study and retake</p>
<p>31 is good enough .Don’t retake it and focus on your college essays.</p>
<p>Yeah… December is kinda late. But just try for the heck of it.
Don’t not study very hard, though, focus on your school work, extracurriculars, and essays.</p>
<p>thanks for the responses everyone. so i think im gonna take it again, but how can i bring up my science and math? before this act i went through the barrons math and it obviusly didnt do me nuch good. Also what if i end up doing worse on reading and english??</p>
<p>think positive. have faith. you are the boss. nothing is more important. except studying.</p>
