Should I retake?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>June act scores
Composite: 35
English: 35
Math: 33
Reading: 35
Science: 35</p>

<p>This was my third time to test. I made a 32 as a sophomore and a 33 earlier in my junior year. I'm debating on trying one more time for a 36, but I don't know. I've never done any kind of act prep, but I don't know if it would help at this point.
Any advice would be great!!!</p>

<p>You have a 35! There is no need to retake it.</p>

3

<p>Haha I know, it would just be a pride thing if I could get a 36.</p>

4

<p>Your composite score doesn’t even add up. Moreover, scores haven’t even been announced yet. Try again, please.</p>

5

<p>Actually, they do add up…check your math??
Plus, scores have been mailed and quite a few have received them.
Also, you might try some respect?
And stop wasting your time being rude.
Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Did you even do your math? 35+35+35+33=34.5, which is a 35.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Um… yes they have. Just not online.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why don’t you try again? :)</p>

<p>How did you get your scores already?</p>

<p>Please take some advice, don’t retake a fourth time after getting a 35 if you’re planning on applying to any schools that require all sittings (eg. Yale). While the 36 sounds perfect in your mind, to an adcom it looks like a test grubber who should have spent time time on other more interesting pursuits.</p>

<p>For instance:</p>

<p>[No</a> choice on scores | Yale Daily News](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2009/jan/16/no-choice-on-scores/]No”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2009/jan/16/no-choice-on-scores/)</p>

<p>36actbrah seems arrogant and insecure. That must suck.</p>

10

<p>Have you taken the test with writing? Or taken the SAT at all. Many colleges require that you either take ACT w/ writing or the SAT (and Subject Tests).</p>

11

<p>While a 36 would definitely be a valuable asset, you really can’t go wrong with a 35. I dont think any college would consider that unsatisfactory, unless you have something (like a low GPA) that counts against you.</p>

12

<p>Like nina1228 asked earlier, have you taken the test with writing? I got a 35 my first time, but took it without writing. Because most top schools require you to have the writing section (if submitting instead of SAT + SAT II) I retook it in June. I’m hoping for a 36, but I’m pretty sure I got a 35 again.</p>

13

<p>All 3 of those tests were with writing. Sorry, forgot to mention that. 35 was my combined English and writing score. 36 in English, 11 on writing.</p>

14

<p>In that case, I would absolutely stick with your score.</p>

15

<p>I thought only those people who didn’t take the writing portion have gotten their scores by mail?</p>

16

<p>Something is a little off here, you said you took it with writing, but that’s impossible since the people who took it with writing will not receive their scores in the mail for another couple of weeks. </p>

<p>Fishy. I call lies on this. I could be wrong, but the evidence says otherwise.</p>

<p>Doesn’t really matter if he is lying or not, he has nothing to gain by trying to impress strangers.</p>

<p>Don’t retake it, a 35 is fine.</p>
