Is it worth taking the ACT again?

[luckydoggy1234]

So I got my ACT results:

Math:35
Eng: 33
Rdng:32
Science: 34
Essay: 9
Comp: 34

but on the other hand my SAT scores were

Math: 760
Eng:750
Writing: 710
Comp: 2220

Is it worth it for me to retake the ACT to try for that 36 or should I just focus my time on other criteria like leadership and the CFA?

Wow! Those are really great scores! You should be very proud of your achievement. I will let the expert ALOs weigh in on this one, but they look pretty good to me.

I think flieger once posted the best answer to this type of question...worded differently, but still the same.
His answer was you should stop taking it when you score a 36 or 1600 as long as you can afford to take it.

Right now your ACT composite would convert to the the same SAT score. Just me, but I would pick one exam, and study the weaker portion since they superscore. IE for your ACT I would spend my time on the E portion. If you can pull that up by just 2 points on the next exam, than you would have a 35 composite or 1560. Even if the Math dropped to 32. They would keep the 35 from the prior test, thus a 35.
~ At that point I would stop and move onto completing plan B (traditional college applications).

Practicing your CFA should not take up much time in your life. I don't know what you mean by working on leadership since it is summer right now and the 1st ACT is 9/12, so you can push that out very early before the academic year really amps up, especially if you are in a fall sport.

OBTW, that is an amazing best sitting score. It is a reason why I said try it one more time. After that, if it stayed the same, I would not waste my time or money again.
~ If you are applying for the AROTC scholarship, I believe they max out the ACT points at 35.
