<p>I'm a rising junior, and I have taken the act two times thus far. One in February 2014, and one in June 2014. Both my composite scores broke down to 34. Now I know some of you are saying I shouldn't retake because it's a very high score, but I plan on applying to ivy leagues and other highly selective colleges, so I need every edge I can get. also, I'm only just starting junior year, so I have plenty of time. If I decide not to retake, should I send both scores since my science went up so much in the second? Superscored, I have a 36.
Feb breakdown June breakdown
English 36 35
Math 36 32
Reading 34 32
Science 28 36
Writing 8 10
Thanks for you time, and all response are appreciated!</p>
<p>Contact the schools you want to apply to and ask of they superscore</p>
<p>Depends on the ivy. For example, Penn and Yale demand that ALL test scores be sent in. By retaking it especially when you have a perfect superscored ACT already just makes you seem like a perfectionist with OCD. You have amazing test scores, and like pandaskate said check with the scores you’re applying to and check to see if they superscore. If they don’t and you honestly think you can get a solid 35/36 on your next try then it’s up to you. </p>
<p>@Gatortristan Oh ok thank you. Just one more question, since act allows score choice, how do schools like Yale and Penn know if you sent all your scores in or not?</p>
<p>@Ponchy97 They don’t. ACT is pretty clear on this when you ask them.</p>
