To re-ACT or not?

SAT and ACT Tests & Test Preparation
#1

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior and I really need advice on whether I should retake my ACT or not. My SAT was 2100 while ACT was a 29(T_T), both without any prep. I am starting prep for SAT as well as SATIIs but don't know whether if I should divert my attention for some ACT prep. Should I retake both or just SAT, and if I should retake both- ACT w/ writing or w/o?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Don't have much time left!

<p>Please help me!!!!</p>

#3

<p>I'd go for what you think you can improve on the most in. I'd personally say go with the ACT because you only need to improve your composite by a little. (a 31 or higher is good)</p>

#4

<p>But should I take it with writing again? I don't want to waste money if its not necessary..</p>

#5

<p>Absolutely take it with writing</p>

#6

<p>depends on your individual scores...were you consistently at 29, or did you score some 30's and a <25 on science?</p>

<p>Depends on which colleges you aspire to. A 2100 SAT is good for any college below the top ~20, but if you are dreaming of Ivy and are unhooked, your goal should be 2200/33+.</p>

<p>I didn't do any practice so I don't know if I'm scoring consistently at 29 or not but for my first test I wasn't very focused. However, my science score was 32 and all other sections were about the same.</p>
