<p>We’re in Illinois also, and my D had gotten two 31s on the ACT in junior year with wildly fluctuating subscores. She signed up to take the September and October tests her senior year, as well as the SAT. She got another 31 in September, but in October, the planets aligned and there was a test that played to her strengths in every subject. On that particular test, she managed to get her highest subscore in each of the 4 subjects so, even though her superscore didn’t move, her composite for that sitting jumped 2 points. That was enough to get a full tuition merit scholarship at the school she’s now attending. It was well worth the time and the test fee. When there are fluctuating subscores, you know the student is capable of getting a higher composite - it’s just a matter of getting that sitting where the high subscores come together. If you need merit money, have your daughter continue to test.</p>
