<p>I got a 33 on the April ACT... should I retake it for a better score?</p>
<p>Here's the breakdown:
31 E
33 S
33 R
34 M</p>
<p>well 34+ is super legit but you would be better off studying for 2 sat 2’s… be happy I know I would be.</p>
<p>What is the harm in retaking it? A 33 is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but there’s always that chance you can surprise yourself and do better than before.</p>
<p>My son took it last June and got a 32. He took it again this March and only studied by taking one practice test and he got a 35. So no harm in taking it again.</p>
<p>i guess i should also add that I took the ACT freshman year and scored a 24
breakdown for that was:
29 m
22 E
24 S
22 R</p>
<p>So would colleges frown upon me taking it one more time?</p>
<p>I think colleges would probably disregard the freshman year ACT.</p>
<p>You should retake it depending on what colleges you’re applying for. If a 33 is at least higher than the scores of 60% of the accepted students at the school you’re applying for, I would say you’re good. It never hurts to improve your ACT though.</p>
<p>You send whichever one you want, so colleges will not know how many times you took it ; )</p>
<p>^ but yale and upenn (my two top schools) require all scores…
i think i’ll take it one more time though. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>If those are your 2 schools, take it again.</p>
<p>^^ but they wont KNOW if you sent them all ; )</p>
<p>haha i guess. </p>
<p>also i found out that i got a 9 on the essay…? which makes my combined writing/english score a 30…</p>
<p>yet i got a 12 on the SAT essay, so Im a little confused as to how that happened.</p>
