Thank you @Mwfan1921- She does seem to be on the cusp of larger merit awards if she could gain a point or two on the ACT. She has taken the PSAT a couple times and seems to do better on ACT, but we are also thinking about trying the SAT once if testing happens this summer. I think there is a chance she could gain a point (but also a chance that she could lose a point)…so that was the main question-whether having a lower score on the transcript after a solid score could look worse than just sticking with the solid (but room for improvement) score. I have an email out to her hs counselor whether she can choose which ACT scores appear on the transcript. She is not planning to apply to any colleges that would want to see all test scores. Her school also includes the standardized reading state test scores on the transcript (but not the standardized math state test scores for some reason) and a standardized science test score from last year. She received an “E” in all of those scores which I think mean “exceeds” standards…anyway what is listed looks good, but I’m wondering why the math scores weren’t on the transcript and also asked the counselor about that. Her lowest section on the ACT was reading, so the “E” in the reading scores is a plus, I think.
