<p>I just got done with my junior year of high school. Sophomore year I took the ACTs and got a composite 28; this past year I retook them and got a composite 29. I have taken the SAT once and got a 1770, but I plan on retaking that this year. While my scores on both tests are high enough to get into the schools I want to go to, I am trying to increase them for a couple of scholarships I am looking at. My question is, should I take the ACT again, for the third time?</p>
<p>Yes, I would focus on the ACT since it seems to play to your strengths. </p>
<p>The ACT, like the SAT, has a score choice system, so if you do potentially worse you don’t have to send your scores.</p>
<p>Basically there is no downside.</p>
<p>2nd poster mentioned score choice…but not all schools allow it, beware.</p>
<p>Also… as far as the SAT…if you look at your results…hopefully you’ll see an area where it tells you how other students did who got your same score…then retook the test. At least my DD, who took it as a Junior got that info. It was VERY informative. I’d thought she should go for those last few points, but it said that, the average test taker, who took the test as a JR, and got these same scores, and took it again as a SR…did WORSE in all of her three areas. It was an eye opener. </p>
<p>Ahhhhh…for the good old days when there was ONE date and you went, sick or not, and you got one score and it was over and done with. Everything has become so complicated and stressful these days.</p>
