Applying to College

<p>I'm retaking them in December (again!) but for now, I'm applying to some UC's. The UC's accept the December test scores but I'm not sure which ones I should put on my application for now because I'm submitted it today. </p>

<p>Score #1: Composite 27
Writing 31
Math 23
Science 26
Reading 27
Essay 10, combined 30. </p>

<p>or </p>

<p>Score #2: Composite 28
Writing 31
Math 25
Science 23
Reading 33
Essay 6, combined 27 </p>

<p>(During the 2nd test, there were a lot of test center issues and by the time I got to the last two sections, which happened to be science and the essay, I was just really overwhelmed and tiered. I didn't wake up at 6:00am to finish a test at 2:45pm. I got refunded and they're giving me a free retake but still, it obviously affected my scores.)</p>

<p>by the way, even though my scores not amazing, i managed to improve within only 3 weeks, there was less than a month between these two test dates.</p>

<p>bump please</p>

4

<p>Send both so you can get them superscored.</p>

5

<p>^Many schools don’t superscore the ACT but rather take the highest composite.</p>

6

<p>umm I would send the highest?</p>

7

<p>but my essay score and science suck? would the individual scores be frowned upon?</p>

<p>Anyone else? What it hurt me if I put my 28 score on the UC app and it said that I got a 23 on my science section and a 27 on my combined writing?</p>
