A lot of questions: Retake? Worse Second Time? Sending Scores?

Test Preparation

<p>Hello CC,
I just got back my june act/sat scores: </p>

<p>SAT: 2050 (660,650,740) –> 2240 (710, 800, 730) [i change my essay writing style and got an 8 on this essay, last time i got a 10]</p>

<p>ACT: 33 (32,36,33,29) —> 30 (31,30, 27,30) </p>

<p>For a specific program, I needed a 34, or a 2250, so I just barely missed the score. </p>

<p>Also, I did a lot worse on my second act, because I was just having a terrible day, was sick, and there was a car accident outside, so there were sirens the whole time. Will this hurt my application? I was extremely worried by the 27. I know that I can get raise my overall score, but does it look bad to take it a third time. </p>

<p>Also, in the case that i am unable to get a better score/ chose not to retake it, is the 2240 any better than the 33? </p>

<p>You should report it to ACT if there were sirens outside while you were taking the ACT. Then, you can retake it. Call them and file a complaint. </p>
