^ In theory I would agree. I would make sure that the schools do not require ALL test results to be reported, even if they are not needed for admissions. It may seem like a small thing, but you don’t want to get bit in the butt on the flip side. If you had a 34+ on both the Math and Science ACT portions I don’t see the need. IF the Math or Science portions were not the strongest parts of your ACT and you want to show strength there, AND you are sure you can do well, it could help.

Consider also time to prepare for the tests. Will this be a problem with a heavy Sr academic and EC schedule, in addition to polishing college apps?
