Should I retake the ACT?

I took the ACT in June and got a composite score of 34 (33 English, 35 Math, 34 Reading, 34 Science.)

I’m perfectly fine with a 34, but all of the schools that I am going to apply to allow ScoreChoice and a few of the schools would recalculate my composite score if any of my subsections go up.

So, because there’s nothing to lose (except some money and a Saturday morning), do you think that I should retake the ACT in September and possibly get a 35 Composite with SuperScore?

P.S. If it makes any difference, I already have an SAT score of 2330 (800CR, 770M, 760W)

P.S.S. The most selective schools on my list have a 34 Composite as the 75th percentile, so a 35 could make a big difference.
