Question about ACT scores?

<p>So when filling out the testing part of it do we have to put down every act we ever took?
I only ask because i took the act more than the usual amount and I'm afraid colleges will look down upon it. I only sent the colleges I'm applying to two of my act scores so how would they find out that i took it other times.</p>

<p>They might be able to see when they contact ACT to verify your scores.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, anyone else have some insight on this?</p>

<p>You could elect not to self report any ACT scores and then just send the official score reports from the particular testing dates you want to report. Score choice with the ACT is quite simple. </p>

<p>Be sure to comply with each school’s requirements - some might require you to send all scores. Also, note that some HS transcripts list all scores and your colleges might see all your test results that way, even if you elect not to self report them.</p>

<p>hmm…it does look like i sent all my scores to my high school but i didnt send them to the colleges. So I guess Ill have to look at my transcript before i send it in?</p>

<p>At our kids’ HS the form of transcript a registrar provides when a student requests one only lists courses and grades. A different form of transcript - including all school clubs and positions, all test scores, disciplinary and attendance history, etc. - is sent with college apps. You may want to ask your GC whether all scores will be reported with your transcript.</p>

<p>I have not heard of that kind of transcript, i think our transcripts are just grades courses and gpa. I actually have a unofficial version of my transcript and its just courses and grades, but ill ask my counselor just in case. Thanks niceday</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can permanently delete some select ACT scores from the record by mailing in a request</p>

<p>I believe you are right Violinist143 [Frequently</a> Asked Questions | How do I delete a test date record? | ACT Student](<a href=“http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html]Frequently”>http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html). I wonder if this could be a workaround for schools that require your entire testing history?</p>

<p>Many school require you report all scores. Personally wish i didnt have to since i had some poor early standardized testing.</p>
