Pros/Cons Automatically Sending Scores?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>My daughter’s not sure whether to authorize ACT to go ahead and send her scores from tomorrow’s test to the 4 schools she specified. Advantage seems to be these first 4 are free IF you authorize them now (website says you can change this authorization up to next Thursday (the Thursday after Sat test date). </p>

<p>So she had entered what are currently her 4 most likely schools (she’s a junior). Then today she deleted those schools, thinking maybe it’s better to see her scores first, decide whether she’ll re-take, before sending these scores.</p>

<p>But in this case, we’ve wasted the free reporting, right?</p>

<p>What’s the best way to go? She’s hoping for composite 32…maybe 33. Practice exam was 31.</p>

<p>I would wait. You can’t undo sending a bad score…if she will take it again, chances are she will only score higher!</p>

<p>Sending the scores is ridiculous. What do you save, $36?</p>

<p>Your daughter did the right thing! Why report scores that may not be your best…</p>

<p>Thanks for the guidance. Makes total sense.</p>

<p>Objective789, you’re right…for 9 bucks apiece, it’s definitely worth waiting to see the scores.</p>
