<p>My composite: 30
English 33
Math 33
Reading 28
Science 24
Writing 30</p>

<p>How much do colleges pay attention to the reading and science scores on the ACT? Or do colleges mostly pay attention to the english and math sections?</p>

<p>Colleges use your composite score, which is currently below Harvard’s 25th percentile. That means that 75% of students at Harvard have a higher score than you. If you have the time, you should retake the test paying closer attention to the science section, which really brought your score down.</p>
