<p>Hi, on a recent ACT, I seem to be in the 99th % for writing (score 36), and reading but only in the 50%tile for math (score 18) so my composite ended up at 26. GPA 3.6. Will colleges care about the skewed score or only see the composite?</p>
<p>What do you plan on majoring in? Colleges like to see a good composite score but will often look closely at the subscore that most closely relates to your intended major. So if you are planning on majoring in math, engineering, etc. you need a good math score. However, if you want to major in English or literature, then the English and Reading scores will count more.
If you want to increase your math score, try Princeton Review’s Cracking the ACT book.</p>
