<p>I’m also in a similar situation where I did not do good on my ACT. I plan to take the ACT or SAT ( I prefer SAT, more time is given etc…). I know I should of at least earn a 25. I think low ACT score will affect you, and should reconsider taking one or the other. Though I’ve only taken the ACT two times so far, you’ve mention six… so maybe you should take the SAT. I also never studied for the ACT, and you could be in the same situation… I found many students who have studied months for the test.</p>
