Should I re-take the ACT?

I have a 32 composite with a 33 superscore and 10 on the essay. If I were to re-take it in October, I feel my score would only shoot up to 33 and wishfully thinking to 34. I am applying to very selective schools, some of which do not have score choice. Should I take the October ACT even if I don’t feel my score would improve much? If I decide to take the ACT and do worse than before, do I have to report those scores even if I already sent my transcript in to my counselor? Please help, I’m really confused. I honestly don’t want to take it again, but I there’s a part of me that’s insisting on taking it again since I paid for it and may improve my score.
