<p>My friend is talking about the ACT; by the time all's said and done, he will have taken the ACT at least 5 times (we're juniors, he's taken it twice already, is taking it Saturday, and will take it two more times after that). I tell him I won't take it more than twice because it looks bad.</p>
<p>Is there any reason to not take the ACT as many times as possible?</p>
<p>This is what I know about the SAT, but to the best of my knowledge it’s for the ACT also. I don’t believe there is a reason not to take it as many times as you want. If you only do it twice and get a low score, when if you had taken it more you could have gotten a higher score, you’re just cheating yourself. Colleges don’t care how many times you take it.</p>
<p>^ This. </p>
<p>I agree, it doesn’t matter how many times you take something, it all comes down to if improved from the last attempt. I think it’s pretty darn smart to take more than once.</p>
