<p>That is the ACT. I got a 29, and before I got a 28.</p>
<p>I want to go to Madison or other schools that are of higher caliber.
But since it's rolling for UW Madison, I want to get in my app ASAP. </p>
<p>Take it or Retake it?</p>
<p>leave it as it is</p>
<p>Probably leave it depending on your other info, grades etc.</p>
<p>Get it in now for any rolling admissions. You can always take it again if you are waitlisted.</p>
<p>Taking any standardized a second time without having made a careful study of your mistakes the first time around is highly unlikely to raise your score in any significant fashion. IF you really want a higher score, you have to analyze the patterns of your errors, and concentrate on developing exam taking strategies that will reduce the numbers of errors. If you do not have the time to do this, don’t waste your energy and your money in multiple re-takes of the exams. If you don’t have anyone to study with, and you don’t have the money/time for an exam prep course, go to your public library and look for copies of the Princeton Review materials on the exam you are taking (they have excellent advice on exam strategies), and copies of old versions of the exam(s) you are preparing for (so you can see many many questions like the ones on the exams).</p>
<p>I would say take it because thats a good score already, besides you might go down or stay the same if you retake it again, its not worth it if you go 1-2pts higher.</p>
<p>Madison is great, I loved it. I think at 29 is sufficient for acceptance there. Oh, buy season tickets for whatever sports you might attend if you get the opportunity. It turned out that you could resell the tickets for immense amounts of money to alums and more than make your money back.</p>
<p>haha, thanks for the advice. i got a 2120 on the SAT and plan to take it again because of the horrible math section that deperfected my score.
is there any benefit to sending that in instead? should i just send both or does that get them all confused?</p>
