Which ACT scores should I send?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

I took the ACT twice and got the following scores:

C:27 C:29
E25 E35
M28 M29
R25 R28
S30 S25

W8 W6

Are you serious?

C29 vs C27.

What’s the dilemma?

3

I think the OP may be concerned with the low essay score and may be the low science score…But I were to send one, I will still send the C29. If a college superscore, I will send both as it gives you a 31.

^I see what you mean. I wouldn’t worry about the Essay. If a school does require it, send both.

But sending the C27 you risk revealing 3 lower scores (especially E, which is 10pts lower) compared to the C29.

The only draw back with the C29 is the lower Sci and lower Essay (which most colleges won’t care about).

5

C29 - avoid showing the E25.

6

yea, most of my schools superscore

7

Also, my counseler told me just to send both regardless of whether or not the college superscores, saying that colleges only look at your highest score. Is this true? I heard colleges sometimes maybe subconciously affected by lower scores

8

some superscoring schools say they just consider the highest scores from each section and don’t recalculate a new composite. What would I do in that case?

9

Send both only to those that superscore.

10

ok, because Im assuming superscoring gives me a 31 composite?

11

correct assumption

12

If a college dosen’t superscore, should I still send both? S

Im still not satisfied if colleges that don’t superscore don’t see the 30 science and the 8 writing. The day I got the 25 on science it was rather low as I usually get 28-32 on practice tests. I don’t know if it is a good idea to send both though
