Scores: Which is better?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'll make this short and to the point:</p>

<p>I am applying early to University of Michigan (rolling admissions) and the University of Chicago. I hope to send in everything in by the end of September. I am retaking the ACT for the 3rd time this weekend (Sep. 12), so those scores will not be ready. Thus, which ACT score looks "better"? </p>

<p>ACT #1
English: 30
Math: 33
Reading: 29
Science: 34
Essay: 8
Composite: 32</p>

<p>ACT #2
English: 31
Math: 30
Reading: 34
Science: 33
Essay: 8
Composite: 32</p>

<p>Input is greatly appreciated =)</p>

<p>2nd no doubt</p>

<p>What college are you applying to in UMichigan?</p>

<p>And anyways, why does it matter? Just send em both in since they only look at your highest sub score?</p>

<p>I’m applying to LSA. What do you mean they only only look at highest sub score? So if I sent in 2, then they would… not exactly “superscore” but take the highest scores for each subject?</p>

<p>Please correct me if I’m wrong, but most college do not superscore the ACT; they will, however, superscore the SAT. Thus in Heplayer92’s example, most colleges will not recalculate his ACT composite to anything higher than a 32, no matter his superscored sub scores.</p>

<p>Yarrr thats what I thought Gibby.
Thats why I’m asking which ones better, because theyre both a 32 composite. Hopefully my 3rd time will be the best, but statistically, that is very low XD</p>

<p>My 5 point jump in reading the second time is pretty much negated by my 30 in math =/</p>
