<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I just recently finished my junior year and I'm taking the ACT in June for the first time. I'm okay with the English section, but I'm really afraid I'll do poorly on the rest, especially after hearing about the ridiculous time constraints, because I'm really bad with that. So if I take it in June and don't get what I expect, do I have to report that to colleges? Or do I have the option of just reporting my highest score? </p>
<p>I'm applying to the University of South Carolina in Columbia. I don't know what other schools I'll apply to, but they'll all be state universities. </p>
<p>Thanks,
Brooke</p>
<p>You need to check the rules of each college. Majority allow you to send what you want, others require you to submit all scores, but, depending on college, that all scores rule may or may not include the ACT.</p>
<p>You also need to check what your high school does. Many put all your scores on your official transcript sent to colleges when you apply for college. Thus, your choosing not to send an official score from the testing agency may accomplish nothing.</p>
<p>Well could I just not choose to put my high school code? Because we’re moving and I no longer attend the school I went to last year, and I have no idea what school I’m going to next year.</p>
<p>ACT is better than the SAT in that you usually don’t have to report your scores for tests you don’t want to report.</p>
