Help Please ACT and SAT 4 times each :(

Would taking the ACT and SAT 4 times each be really really bad?? Because that’s what’s happening. What if the last scores were ACT 31 and SAT 1350

Depends upon where you are applying and how your scores compare the averages at these schools.

What’s wrong with a 31 on the ACT? That’s a good score. Taking each one four times is obsessive. You are not going to keep doing better. In fact, you might do worse, which will not impress any college that asks for all scores. Stop. Your score is good. You are not going to Harvard, unless you are hooked.

So does it matter how many times it’s taken? Shouldn’t one take it no more than 3 times for EITHER ACT or SAT?

What is your score progression and what are the subscores? 4 times is not obsessive if your score is not where you want it to be.

26, 26, 28, 31 (E29, M33, R29,S31)

Well congrats on improving! I think by this point it is time to call it a day. A 31 is great score, I would let it be at this point.

Okay thanks!

Of chasing an automatic 32 ACT scholarship, take it again. Otherwise, time to focus on other parts of the app.
