I'm wondering which one of my ACT scores is better. I got a 31 composite both times and was gunning for at least a 32, so I'm kinda bummed out. ACT #1 English: 33 ACT #2 English: 34 Which of these scores should I send to colleges? Some schools already have my first score, so is it worth sending in my second as well even if they don't superscore? |
Most colleges will only consider your composite ACT scores and not be too concerned with your subsection scores. I don't think it's worth it to send the second score to schools that already have your first score unless they superscore the test. However, I do think that you should send the second score to colleges that haven't received any scores from you yet. The difference is very small, but you did get a higher Writing score on the second test, and you dramatically improved your Math score. If you're planning on majoring in a math or science oriented subject, schools may be interested in your performance on the Math section specifically. |
