<p>How many times should you take it... Is it dumb to keep retaking it in hopes of a higher score</p>
<p>I’d say a maximum of 3 times. More than that is probably not a good idea, unless it’s because you made a bubbling error or something like that on one of them.</p>
<p>Your score won’t change much at all if you do nothing differently between tests and you’ll waste time. Probably no more than 4 as it won’t make a huge difference by then.</p>
<p>3 tops! many top colleges even state that “we don’t recommend you taking more than twice” It’s not dumb to keep retaking bc my first 2 times I had the same score though my section scores fluctuated like CRAZY(as much as 8pts) but for my 3rd test I had a composite score 4pts higher than the others. Also some superscore ACT too so if your sections scores are high, composite low, it might help! Good Luck!</p>
