<p>Does it look better to show improvement in ACT scores, or to just write the highest (on common app)?</p>
<p>i think it depends on high the score is</p>
<p>if the score is really high, then showing just the one might give the impression that you did it right the first time</p>
<p>if the score is relatively high, you may want to give the impression that the score isn’t the highest, but i worked hard and got somewhere with my dedication…</p>
<p>Most people who report ACT scores will report only one, because ACT offers a choice of dates to report. You may as well just report the highest.</p>
<p>damn straight</p>
<p>Wouldn’t writing down several scores just mean you’ll have to pay more money to officially report each one? </p>
<p>Eek, I’m just going to report my 34 and be done.</p>
<p>On the other hand, as I reread the opening post, the question is about what to self-report on the Common Application, and from that point of view I would say report everything that there is to report. I first interpreted the question as asking about official score reports to colleges, but for self-reporting on college application forms I figure one might as well self-report everything to give the whole picture. One CC post that I’d like to verify suggested that colleges like that a lot.</p>
<p>i am under the impression that if u self report something it also has to be officially reported for it to mean anything?</p>
<p>I believe it’s the highest score that matter more. </p>
<p>I think what most colleges actually do is compile a list of scores (highest) from the collegeboard score report for each student and look from there.</p>
<p>lets say i send a score report on my first test to college A</p>
<p>does college A get the score from my 2nd test even if i don’t send it specifically?</p>
