<p>I have a 32 composite with a 33 superscore and 10 on the essay. If I were to re-take it in October, I feel my score would only shoot up to 33 and wishfully thinking to 34. I am applying to very selective schools, some of which do not have score choice. Should I take the October ACT even if I don't feel my score would improve much? If I decide to take the ACT and do worse than before, do I have to report those scores even if I already sent my transcript in to my counselor? Please help, I'm really confused. I honestly don't want to take it again, but I there's a part of me that's insisting on taking it again since I paid for it and may improve my score.</p>
<p>I was in the same position as you in that I was undecided on whether to take it again after knotting a 32.
I was on the margin for a lot of the schools I am applying to, but after taking it a second time and knotting a 34, I’m solidly in the middle 50 of all of them.
Therefore I STRONGLY recommend retaking even if you have the slightest belief you can do better. If you don’t like the score you get, don’t report it.</p>
<p>It depends. All Ivy league schools plus others like Stanford require all your ACT scores, but ideally if you feel confident then go ahead! :)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
