<p>My scores are as follows... 22, 23, 26.</p>
<p>This Feb. one was...
C-26
E-25
M-31
R-20 (wow?)
S-27</p>
<p>I am retaking the April one and wanted to know if some of you can help me to raise my english and reading score. I am only a sophomore and would want 32+ on the next Act...I know that seems impossible but i would be happy with a 30+ also. Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>Do you have a 22, 23 and 26 as composite scores on 3 ACT administrations of the test and you are only a sophomore?</p>
<p>yes, they are my composite scores and i am a sophomore, why?</p>
<p>well, its possible. i went from a 27 to 31 with relaxation as the key.</p>
<p>i am usually relaxed its just that the reading passages usually screw up my composite score...</p>

You should talk with your GC immediately about the pros and cons of multiple testing dates for college admission: for example, even if you were to elevate your score to a 30+, some schools like Georgetown will NOT consider you seriously for admission because you will be required to submit ALL your scores, and these kinds of colleges are wary of "serial testers".
My other concern is that the ACT is usually easier for juniors and seniors because the more high school you have completed, the higher the probability of a higher score because the ACT is content based. You might want to consider the SAT on a practice test to see how you fare? If you do really well, you are set. If not, you can retake it once or maybe twice.
The point is that most colleges take a dim view of applicants who test more than two or three times.......................... I don't want to burst your bubble. Think about it, read some college guides and talk it over with your school GC</p>
<p>Oh, thanks. I'll do that on Monday! :D So even if i get say a 28, 31, 32 on my next three Act's, colleges like Duke will not take me seriously?</p>
<p>Does colleges like duke or some ivy league schools want all of your acts? One more thing, I think they will take into consideration that I took the acts with the lower scores as a sophomore, you think so too? What I have heard is that you are able to send you best score. Anyways thanks for your input.</p>
<p>barristerdad is wrong.</p>
<p>Colleges look at your BEST score, and they don't have to know how many times you took it. My friend went to georgetown, and took the act FIVE times, and got like a 33 on his fifth try, and he got into georgetown because he sent his best score.</p>
<p>So it doesn't matter how many times you take it.</p>
<p>I hope you're right lol, because I would be screwed if barr was right...</p>
<p>Most top colleges want you to send in ALL of your scores though.
If they find out you didn't, they can rescind your admission or even stop you from graduating from their school.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat</p>
<p>Got a 26 also on the Feb test.</p>
<p>C 26
E 25
M 30
R 23
S 26</p>
<p>I'm also aiming for at least 31. Good luck.</p>
<p>Korean, good luck to you too. Sea legs, if I send in all of my act scores, would they take into consideration that most of my lower scores are from my sophomore year? Thank you both on your comments. Good luck to both of you ok future Acts if you are taking them.</p>

<p>Sorry, but I have NEVER heard of such a thing. Why would there even be a score choice then? That simply makes no sense. OP, you should be fine! I know many, many people who taken the test multiple times and have only sent their last best score.</p>
<p>Thank you very much hardworker for your insight. That is exactly what I thought too. I really do hope you are right that I can send in my best score to one of the top colleges such as Duke etc. Thanks for your comment :D. I also really need a strategy or something to help me raise my reading score especially.</p>

All UCs have that rule, if I'm not mistaken.
as to several other top colleges.
Most of these top colleges are also opting out of the new score choice for the SAT - they will require applicants to submit all SAT scores.
same for ACT.</p>
<p>Are you sure??? That kind of limits people from taking the tests over and over again...many people on here also take multiple tests and other colleges encourage you to get a better score. So this is all wierd because I should be able to send in my best score....if you don't mind Sea Legs, can you post the website you found that information on?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure you only send the top scores to Uc's. Why else would ACT and SAT now have a score report?</p>
<p>Btw, make sure that your school doesn't put the scores on</p>
<p>the your transcript.oops.lol</p>
<p>Testing</a> Requirements : Stanford University</p>
<p>"Applicants must submit scores from all SAT tests (including Subject Tests) taken or all ACT tests taken. Applicants cannot elect to "hide" any scores with either testing agency. "</p>
