Should I retest?

<p>I am a current senior and I am trying to decide whether to take ACTs standby again October 22nd. </p>

<p>I have already taken them twice, and my highest composite is 30 and I have a 31 superscore. I am applying to most schools early so the only schools the new scores would be sent to are McGill, USC, and Boston College. </p>

<p>My GPA is around 25-50th percentile for these schools, and they are some of my top choices, so would it be worth retesting? Both of my scores were without any prep. Thanks!</p>

<p>Both for SAT and ACT, I think taking it more than twice looks bad to colleges. A 30/31 is good. Consider taking the SAT if you never have? Some people do significantly better on one test. Good luck!</p>

<p>They will only know that you tested many times if you send the scores everytime. If your score increased significantly to a 30, then there is a good chance it will go up again. If it was 29 or 30 both times, then it probably won’t increase.</p>

<p>Only you can know if you can bring your score up. Look at your subscores and see if you can raise them a point or two and if that will in turn raise your composite. Remember to round up. i.e if your composite is 30.5 it is a 31!. I say go for it…don’t look back and say, what if…</p>
