<p>How will colleges view if you only report one ACT score from Feb of Junior Year. Does it look bad not to try again? S got a 33 and doesn't want to retake.</p>
<p>why would he retake it? If I got a 33 the first time I wouldn’t even think about retaking it, or if I did retake it I wouldn’t study atall before the test.</p>
<p>It does not look bad to take the test only once. 33 will be within acceptable range at every school. If, however, he is aiming for top schools, going for a higher ACT score or trying the SAT may be appropriate depending on his potential for improvement and willingness to prepare.</p>
<p>Upon learning a bit more from the OP, I recommended not retaking.</p>
<p>I got a 30 first time and only took it once. I saw no need to retake it, so a 33 should be just fine.</p>
