<p>is it okay to take the ACT more than 2 times?? I have been studying really hard to get my science score up, and I think i can do it, but the reason I ask is that I've heard that it's bad to take the SAT more than 2 times, and I was wondering if the same rule applied for the ACT. </p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>yes because you choose the score you want to give to the university of your choice</p>
<p>Or you could send them all to colleges...Some colleges will only accept a certain number of tests. I would say go for it, if you don't mind spending the money.</p>
<p>I called the admission office of daughter's reach school ( a top 20 school) and asked them if in their opinion it was reasonable to take the SAT or ACT several times. Their reply was, "Oh, absolutely! We are a competitive college and our applicants usually take these tests 3, 4, or even 5 times - we expect that. We understand that on any one day you may not be able to do your best - for a variety of reasons - you may not be feeling your best, it may be an emotional time, you may not be a great test taker, etc. We simply take your best score of all the tests you have taken. There is no stigma for taking it several times". If you have some colleges that you are interested in I would strongly urge you to call the admissions office and ask their opinion. Usually these questions can be answered by the first person who answers the phone. They are more than happy to help - that is what they are paid to do!</p>
<p>It can't hurt you to take the ACT multiple times because colleges only see the score you send to them. I've taken it multiple times and currently have brought my score up from a 25 to a 32 in a little over a year. The more times you take it the better you'll get (usually).</p>
<p>Take it again. Several school will look at multiple test sessions and combine them giving you your best scores from each test session. This can really improve your score.</p>
<p>I know Univ of Colorado Boulder and The University of Pacific does this for the SAT and the ACT</p>
<p>and so does the university of tennesee</p>
