Took the ACT five Times. Should I delete the lower two scores?? Help!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey so I took the ACT five Times.
First time 23
Second time 27
Third time 28
Fourth time 30
Fifth time 33 </p>

<p>The first two times were flukes and didn't accurately represent my capabilities. I requested the score deletion sheet and they sent it to me saying I can delete the dates I don't feel reflect my capabilities. The reason I am deleting them is because common app makes you list how many times you took it and I don't want to say five times cuz that looks bad. Also schools like Carnegie Mellon and cornell (I'm applying to both) require you send ALL of your scores. So for obvious reasons it is in my favor to delete the first testing dates. All records will be removed. My only concern is that they would accidentally erase my 33 which I worked so hard for. They clearly state on for sheet that they will only erase the date(s) you specify. However, I am worried they could mess up! </p>

<p>Thoughts? Has anyone ever used this service?</p>

<p>Dishonesty looks worse than a fluke low score.</p>

<p>print out your 33 score or retain the one they mailed you and request the first two be deleted and stop being so paranoid…</p>

<p>I guess you don’t know what this means:

Can you look up the word ALL?</p>

<p>I think he took it to mean ALL the scores he had not deleted. :slight_smile:
His one concern seems to be that the administration might delete the wrong scores. It would be poetic. Sheesh!</p>
