Should I retake the ACT?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Composite 31, English 33, Math 36, Reading 25, Science 29, essay 12, English/writing composite 34,</p>

<p>As you probably noticed I screwed up on reading (which is strange since I got a 720 on the SAT critical reading section. Maybe that will counter it on the application?) Would this low score drastically affect my chances in applying (to Penn, Uchicago, dartmouth, Berkeley)? But would it be worth to retake given the other high scores especially the perfect math and essay scores?</p>

<p>Retake… You don’t have to send all scores. Unless this test was taken on some required state ACT date, then nobody will know you retook (hopefully).</p>

<p>You scored high on the two sections that matter</p>

<p>Hmm, I read somewhere that Uchicago will superscore the ACT, I could do that for any colleges that allow it</p>

<p>There are some schools that allow ACT superscoring though not as many as for SAT. For Ivy caliber schools, try to get all section scores above 30.</p>
