<p>I have a composite ACT of 30. I'm retaking the ACT on Saturday. What if I score significantly lower? I have to put down the colleges I'm applying to on the score reporting form so I don't have the option of withholding my scores. Even if I send in my previous ACT score, I'm TERRIFIED of ending up with a 26 or 27... Will submitting a lower score reflect negatively on me? Should I cancel my registration? Help!!</p>
<p>The ACT is mainly based on what you know. I think it is pretty tough for someone that scored a 30 to score lower after they've learned more. In my case, I scored a 30 in high school and brought it up to a 34 in college. You should be fine.</p>
<p>Why can't you withhold your scores? Deadlines?</p>
<p>for ACT...only one score report will be needed to be sent--that score report will have only one score...they will never know how many times you have taken the ACT and how you've scored except the one you send in...so keep a copy of your score report of the ACT score 30 and take the test this Saturday confidently. You'll be fine...be well-rested and well-fed.</p>
