Should I send my second ACT score or not?!

Test Preparation

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am sending my scores to villanova for RD and have a dilemma. </p>

<p>the first time i took it in June I got a composite of 28</p>

<p>english-32
math-28
reading-28
Science-23</p>

<p>the second time I took it in October I got a composite of 27</p>

<p>english-30
math-33
reading-21
science-25</p>

<p>Should I send the October one? I’m worried because the reading score is so horrible. The super score of both is 29.5.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Most schools don’t superscore the ACT. What is your intended major?</p>

<p>even though they dont superscore, would the 21 for reading look bad?</p>

<p>The 21 would look bad, though not as much for someone who was going to major in something like math. They might just chock it up to a bad day in reading.</p>

<p>As far as I know Villanova does not superscore. Since your composite score is lower there should be no point in sending it - they should only look at the test with the highest composite score and ignore the rest. However I might be wrong - the best way is to contact the admissions office and ask specifically if they give any consideration to tests other than the one with the highest composite. </p>
