<p>Alright, so back in June I got a 30 composite. Yesterday, I think I did fairly well and maybe increased my score to a 31. I am applying to a college ED and they only consider my highest ACT score. </p>
<p>On the October ACT I indicated that my score be sent to the college immediately, so it gets there on time. </p>
<p>If I did worse on the October ACT, let's say I got 29, would it be smart to send in my 30 beforehand? </p>
<p>Basically I send them the 30, it gets put on my file, October scores arrive (maybe higher or lower) and then they consider the higher one.</p>
<p>If they consider only your highest send both. They probably consider your highest individual scores as well. So if you did better on English the first time but better on math the second time, it would be to your benefit to send both. If you got significantly lower, that probably wouldn’t be good, but I doubt that would happen.</p>
<p>They will use highest composite for admission but many that do believe that the English and math scores are the more important. I would send your 30 now: if new score is higher it will be used and current score will not detract from it; if new score is lower, you will have timely submitted the score you needed.</p>
