Should I Send Both of These ACT Scores or Only One?

Test Preparation

<p>I got a
33c--35e; 35m; 31r; 29s on septembers act
and
32c--35e; 34m; 27r; 32s on novembers act</p>

<p>Superscore is 33.25, so it doesnt round up to a 34, but if I send both, will they pay more attention to the drop in reading and the composite score, or will they be happy to see a three point increase in science? </p>

<p>I personally feel like the drop in reading and composite score will look bad, so I was thinking of not sending it, but I wanted to get some others' feedback. </p>

<p>Thanks for your time and help!</p>

<p>It honestly depends for each college. I don’t think you should because your composite is gonna be the same, Regardless if schools superscore or not. </p>

<p>Thanks for the input, @TheCalculator I appreciate the input and agree with you, but just wondering to see what sort of thing others would say to justify sending both of them.</p>

<p>Does anybody have any opinions on this? </p>

<p>The only reason to send your 32 C is if you are going to be a math/science major, then maybe send it. However, the science section doesn’t measure true scientific knowledge, so it’s no biggie. If you did well on your subject tests, then you’re fine. </p>

<p>@TheCalculator Once again, thanks for helping me. That is actually a very good point. I am gong for a computer science major, and my subject test scores are 740 in Math 2, and 730 in Chemistry. I am retaking Math 2 this December for a higher score. Are those scores good enough? I am applying to top 50 schools, and a majority of them are reaches, to sort of try my luck lol. Don’t worry, I still have safeties, and matches.</p>

<p>I think those scores are fine. I think you can improve your math score easily up in the 750+ range with a little preparation. The chemistry score is a decent score & is fine as it is, but it wouldn’t hurt to increase it if you have the time. Otherwise, I think you’re in good shape for most top 50 schools </p>

<p>@TheCalculator‌ Thanks for the info, and I don’t need to submit my ACT to schools anymore, as I got a much better SAT score, and I saw you on the November SAT thread. Please do be sure to let me know if you got your desired score, too! Good luck!</p>
