Students and parents, seeking your advice ASAP:
Daughter is supposed to take the ACT again tomorrow but I’m now leaning toward not having her do it.
She took two previous ACTs. Composite on each was 33 – almost identical; superscoring the two doesn’t really move the needle at all, so a solid 33.
This time she has not prepped at all–wants to do it cold. She had prep especially for the second of the two she has already taken. I think she may do worse on this one than 33, since she hasn’t prepared additionally. She does know how the test works and has the experience of taking it twice but I’m thinking there just isn’t a reason to try to do it once more.
As far as I can see from research, at the colleges she’s considering (more may come along), 33 is a very good to strong score for admissions. These colleges don’t seem to ask for ALL ACT scores but either the best composite or two to superscore. (a handful of colleges in the US want all of your ACT scores so they can see the “testing trend” as one put it)
I’d welcome thoughts from the CC community–I know you’ve been there and done that! Thank you.
