<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I received my May SAT scores and got 2380. I signed up for the ACT on June 9th earlier though, and I think I could do well on it. Should I take the ACT since I've already paid for it and try to enhance my application (would it even)? Or would it even be looked upon unfavorably to take it?</p>
<p>No (if schools require you to send all scores)
Yes (if schools don’t)</p>
<p>That’s already a really high SAT score and most colleges accept either one. You don’t need to take both.</p>

<p>I know, it’s just that seeing as I’ve already paid for it… </p>

<p>You make a good point.</p>
<p>I guess what I’m trying to ask is, does it help me in any way to take the ACT? Like, does a 2380 + 35/36 (assuming) look better vs just a 2380? Or should I just not risk getting a bad score and enjoy a free Saturday?</p>
<p>I’m leaning toward not taking it, I guess I’m just getting hung up on the money.</p>
<p>It honestly would not enhance your application unless you could get a 36, but even then that would be a very miniscule enhancement. I just thought that since you already paid for it, you could go for it. This is only if schools don’t require you to send all scores.</p>
<p>I think I would take it anyway. You’ve already paid for it and a tiny part of me would always wonder whether I would have aced that one as well. Just a tiny part, but you only have this one shot to find out. If you don’t do as well, it isn’t going to count against you. If you do, it shows a great consistency.</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinions guys. I just took a practice test and got 36/31/35/35 (the 31 was Math… oops) so I’m going to brush up on my math and take another practice test. If I think I can get a 36 I’m going to go for it.</p>
