<p>I'm a Junior in high school, and I'm taking my 1st ACT this December.
Actually, I took it once in 7th grade, but that doesn't count. </p>
<p>Anyways, I'm registering online, and I see that it allows you to select 4 colleges/universities to which you want to send your scores. Will my scores be sent to those picks before I even get to see them? If yes, is it a good idea to send them since it's my 1st time taking the test?</p>
<p>P.S.-- I'm aiming for 34+. Any tips?</p>
<p>It depends. If you are sure you can get a respectable score, then by all means you should use this and send the scores to different colleges. If you’re doubtful about whether you’ll get a good score then you shouldn’t.
However do keep in mind that if you select the colleges, then ACT will give you a score report which will have those recipient colleges and its details(e.g Freshman Class GPA, ACT Scores, Tution, Financial Aid,Opted Major). This is an added benifit.
P.s I sent my first time’s score aswell.</p>
<p>There are some schools that require you to send in all test scores ever taken. If some of these schools are on your list, you can choose them.</p>
