Hey guys,
Quick question here, I took the act last December and this February, here are my scores:
December 2016:
E: 31
M: 32
R: 34
S: 33
C: 33
February 2017:
E: 34
M: 33
R: 35
S: 21 (I tried really hard and burned out at the end)
C: 31
Superscored leaves me at a 34, but will sending February’s leave me at a disadvantage because of the science section?
Thanks you guys.
No, submit both for the super score they’ll see you did well on science one time. It’s not like you burned out both times
I agree – they won’t hold the low science against you toooo much, but maybe a little. You could also take it again and try to just get a 34. That will be most impressive
If the school superscores, definitely send both. They want to see how well you perform when you’re at your best. The low score won’t matter, but if you’re really worried you can take it once more
No. Submit both. 34 superscore is set.
You really need to know IF your target schools superscore, and if they superscore for admission only, and if they superscore for scholarships. Super scoring of the ACT does not seem horribly common. It is discussed like it is the norm, but I am not sure that it actually is.
