The Importance of showing Improvement - sending all scores or just the best one

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m an international student and just started considering to study in the usa.
I figured out that the act is much more easy or me and i scored a 24 in barrons diagnostic examination. (fist trial)
Most of the mistake i made have been caused by my poor Englisch knowledge, and because i just forgot some stuff in math.</p>

<p>now i have to opportunity to take a real act tommorow.
do you think it would be good to take the test to state, at which level i started to study or should i just wait untill i’m prepared well?
My grades in school increased significatly over the last two months, but haven’t been that great before in school, so it could be important for me to show that i just had a lack of motivation not of intelligence.</p>

<p>Generally spoken:
If someone scored f.e. 25,32,34 would it be wiser to send just the 35 (if your college accepts score choice) or send all 3 to show improvment?</p>

<p>Just the 35, unless the college requires that you send “all scores”, which some do. The improvements that interest colleges are not in your standard test scores but in your academics.</p>
