<p>I am done with about all my testing and have finished my Common App essay and information...Basically I am going to be hella bored as I have 19 essays written from a college essay writing class offered by a Harvard Graduate in my neighborhood. Since I have time on my hands, should I go ahead and retake a 34 ACT (34,34,33,34 7 essay) and try to get a 35 or 36? It was my first time taking the test and I didn't study for it.</p>
<p>Also, I am planning on retaking SAT II's in October (Got a 720 in Bio last time but 800 MII and Physics) and taking the SAT I Reasoning again in November (2230) for RD schools. For ED/EA I will submit my ACT score. </p>
<p>Is it worth taking any of my tests again or should I just spend more time on other stuff (got a neurobiology research internship offer for fall of senior year)?</p>
<p>While a 34 is a very good ACT score, you should always strive to do your best. If you don’t feel a 34 is your best score then you should re-take the test and study this time around. There are practice tests available. You can also try one of these, [ACT</a> Test Prep](<a href=“ACT Test Preparation | Test Prep Resources | ACT”>ACT Test Preparation | Test Prep Resources | ACT)</p>
<p>You can if you want, but honestly, unless you’re applying to EXTREMELY prestigious universities, the difference between a 34, 35, and 36 isn’t going to matter as much; as little as a question or two can separate the scores.</p>
<p>Honestly, I’d just focus on studying for the Bio Subject Test and make sure all of my other application components were finalized. Maybe have some people proofread the essay (I’ll take a look if you want), start notifying teachers about recommendations…you know, etc., etc…</p>
<p>A 34 is an EXCELLENT score. As long as your GPA matches up, you should be fine.</p>
<p>I say go for it. I was like you with a 34 and my score increased the next time. It’s only a couple hours and if you get a 35 or 36, you’ll be glad you did. I am quite jealous that you are done with essays… T.T</p>
