Retaking the ACT or NOT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>I am going to be a freshman in college in the fall. I am attending my local community college for two years to save myself money and (my parents have two other children to put through college) finish my required courses. I will be pursuing a career in the medical field, (which, I am not sure yet). However, I do plan to transfer to another 4-year college or university after two years. My highest ACT score is 24, which is pathetic if not average. I know you can take the ACT countless times, and it doesn't matter as long as you get the score you want. I have already graduated high school and am going to be a future freshman. Should I take the ACT again in order to-</p>

<p>a) increase my score
b) enhance my chances of getting into a better university later on?</p>

2

<p>You should take it because of b)- enhancing your chances of getting into a better university later on. Aim for at least a 28.</p>

3

<p>Try taking the SAT to see if you do better on it. Question: aren’t the most important things GPA and transferable units at this juncture and not test scores, since you are not an incoming freshman any longer?</p>

<p>jshain: you do make a good point but the colleges I am looking at still take into account your ACT scores.</p>
