<p>On the Common App, it asks you to report your best test scores and all the exam dates that you've taken tests on. My best test score for the ACT is a 35 and it has all my best section scores as well, but I did take the ACT two times before I got a 35. So my question is, is there any point in reporting that I took the test on two other dates? Would it look worse since that would basically say that on two previous tests I scored lower than 35? Wouldn't it look better if I said I just took the ACT once and I got a 35 since I'm only going to be sending the 35 to the schools I apply to anyways?</p>
<p>You should put down what you got on the other two test dates. Plus, college adm officers like to see a drastic change in scores. So, say you got a 25 then you got a 35 (doubtful, but possible), that would look good. Besides most colleges, regardless of how many times you’ve taken an admission test, only care about your highest score.</p>
<p>I went from 28->31->35, but the only thing with that is that I would only be reporting the dates that I took the other two tests not the actual composite scores.</p>
