<p>In the common app, there are spaces for multiple ACT scores.
Do you send ALL of your ACT results, or do you write your best one? </p>
<p>Plus, if I had the ACT test scores sent to my high school, will they put all of them on the transcript or ... . ? </p>
<p>Can somebody explain this process?
Thanks.</p>
<p>It depends. </p>
<p>Most colleges that require the Common App require official results. Although your high school can send your ACT scores, most of those colleges don't allow institutionalized reports (i.e. ACT scores on your transcript.) However, some colleges do accept these reports, and usually your local state university will accept ACT scores on your transcript as an official report, so you need to check with each college you're applying to.</p>
<p>As for what to put on the Common App, report all of your scores, but only officially send your best score. You don't need to send them all. :P</p>
<p>you can send however many you want to send, but i wouldn't send too many... i'd send your top 2 at the most</p>
<p>use my case as an example --- i've taken the ACT 5 times... i got a 30, 30, 31, 34, 35 on those ACTs.... i'm not going to put the 30s and the 31 on there because those are much lower compared to my 34 and 35.. so i'll definitely put my 35 on there and maybe my 34 (just to show the 35 wasn't a fluke and that i can score high on more than one test)</p>
<p>that's what i'd do... don't send in all of them.. just your highest score or your 2 highest scores</p>
<p>so if I take the ACT one more time and HOPEFULLY get the 34
I will have taken two, one 30 and a hopeful 34
I will send the official score of 34 cuz princton, Columbia, etc require it, but on the common app do I need to put both?</p>
<p>^ Yes, on the Common App, you need to put both.</p>
<p>^^disagree. You should not have to list every club/activity you participate in, so you do not have to list every test score you have every taken. The beauty of score choice is to send your best test.</p>
<p>i also have a question. i took the ACT my junior year. I am a senior now and i am planning to take the exam again in december. How do i report the scores to the colleges that i want because iono if my december exam will be higher than my previous ACT score.</p>
<p>dang I should have take it like 10 times and get a 36. I only decided to take the act recently</p>

<p>You have two choices:<br>
1) delay your college apps until you see the Dec score, but it might not be up before Jan 1;
2) send the best score you have now, and if your Dec score is higher send it after the fact. If it is not higher, don't send it (obviously).</p>
<p>Sorry for bringing this back alive, but say I have a 30 on one ACT test, and a 31 on another ACT Test, and one section on the 30 Composite test is higher than that section on the 31 Composite test. I have a 31 Reading on the 30 test and a 30 Reading on the 31 Composite Test lol. Should I still send both scores?</p>
