[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if the applicant has taken the ACT twice, but the second time went up in every category.   So their highest scores are from one sitting, but it's not their only sitting?[/quote]
To echo the PP, you don't report the lower scores.

First, [b]understand that many colleges will just ask you to report the scores in the Common App,[/b] which asks for your highest scores in each section and highest composite. Colleges that take scores this way do not see the lower scores. Second, the schools that ask for an official report at the time of application will only see the test dates you choose to send them.

The only school that requires applicants to report all their scores, including the lower ones, is Georgetown.[/quote]

Can someone please explain how colleges that accept self reported scores validate those scores? Or do they just take the student's word?[/quote]
If the student is accepted and decides to enroll, the school then requires an official score report to be sent directly from the testing agency.[/quote]
