Should I send my 4 free ACT score reports even though I don't know how I did?

<p>I took the ACT last Saturday. I'm not sure how it went. I don't think it went well, but I am generally a very bad predictor of my test score successes and failures.</p>

<p>However, I would like to take advantage of the 4 free score reports that come with my test, but the deadline to put colleges' names in is tomorrow, Thursday. I still don't have a list of all the colleges I want to apply to, but I know all my reachers for sure, and I have two safeties.</p>

<p>I'm already sending a score report to Tulane, who offered me the VIP app and another report to a public school in my state. But should I risk sending my scores to two of my reach schools; Washington University in St. Louis and University of Notre Dame? I know WUSTL is big on demonstrated interest, and right now I haven't done anything.</p>

<p>I'm scared when scores come back, I'll have gotten an even lower score than my first time. I really just don't know how I did. Some section felt like they went better than last time, others were harder. And I have never had much accuracy with predicting my own scores. I could have done a lot better than my old score, but then maybe not. If I send these potentially bad scores to my reach schools, but I get a better score later or score higher on the SAT, can I send those later and ask them to disregard the free score reports I sent them or will it be too late?</p>

<p>Is it a good idea to risk sending these score reports, or should I wait to find out how I did for sure?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any responses=)</p>

<p>How much is it to send a test score if you wait? Last I checked, it was only around $8. Most people can afford to wait and see how they did. Remember, the great thing about the ACT is that you can choose your best score to send. Try the SAT as soon as possible, too. My son did better on the ACT, but ended up taking it 4 times until he got a score he was happy with.</p>

<p>send it to your safeties. lol.</p>
