<p>I already posted this in another thread, but thought I might get a quicker response posting again (sorry):</p>
<p>I have a question about ACT scores too. My S got a 30 the first time he took it, with high math and science scores, lower english and reading. The kicker is his writing sample was awful. He says that he freaked out and couldn't think clearly and it was obvious with his score (7). Then he retook it last June and got a 29, his science and math stayed relatively the same around 30 - 32, his English went down a bit, and reading was the same, BUT, his writing score went to 10 and it brought the combined English score up. Anyway, he isn't going to take it again. Should he send both scores because he did so much better on the writing sample the second time, or just send the first because the composite is better? Thanks for any replies!!</p>
<p>Thanks, his scores are really frustrating! If he had just done as well on the multiple choice portion of English he probably would have had at least a 31. Oh well, he will settle for what he has! I checked his safety and his reaches and they either recommend or require the writing portion, so I guess we will send them both and hope the ad counselor really looks at both of the tests and assesses his strengths (math and science) and understands his weaknesses! Luckily his grades are stellar and he has done well on AP tests. I hope they take all of that into account.</p>
<p>AND, more importantly, he LOVES his safety! So, all is well.</p>
