<p>You've probably heard the question before, but here's the scenario . I took a total of 6 ACT's from sophomore to junior year. Every test i took my score improved(that's why i kept taking them). At the end my score improved from a 27 to a 34, which is a big jump. Will college's look down on this score because i took it so many times?</p>
<p>no. you’re allowed to choose which scores you report. unless you’re choosing to send your scores immediately after your test is scored, they’ll know nothing about the other exams you’ve taken</p>
<p>depends on which colleges you are applying to. Some colleges require you to send all the scores from all of the times you have taken it. However, I think colleges will actually be impressed with your dedication to improve your scores :)</p>
<p>The first thing is NOT to automatically report the scores to any college or your high school, as the HS can add it to your transcript. If your score is 34 on the ACT, that means your grades should also be commensurate. If your grades are good and the college doesn’t require that you report all scores, you should be fine.</p>
<p>My opinion: Retaking Board examinations was never meant to be an exercise of persistent perfection. Instead retakes are allowed to cure a clearly inferior score as might happen in the case of sickness. BTW, it’s not your fault. I blame the greed of the College Board for taking your money 6 times when you already had a good score. I imagine that even for a score choice school, seeing a mixing of a bunch of different test dates and scores would cause mental aggravation.</p>

<p>How do you stop ACT from sending scores to HS? I think there is no option.</p>
<p>Like others have said, it really depends on the college you’re applying to. </p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, most colleges look at your highest score. I don’t know how multiple ACTS factor into that, but colleges like Stanford require all of your ACTs and SATs.</p>
