[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, did your junior get results? How did he do? Will you have him take it again? We're in similar situation, a 35.[/quote]

Not OP, but my junior just got 35,35,35,36E, first sitting, and won’t take it again.  That score is 75th percentile at the most selective places. Too much downside for a retake. Could get a lower score. Could look like a jerk. Not worth it. Sucks to miss a 36 by one question but I just don’t think it matters.[/quote]

PP here. I thought ACT allows students to decide which tests to send. Colleges have no idea if it's super score or number of attempts. I could be wrong.[/quote]

23:52 here.  Interesting.  My kid's current ED choice says they will superscore on the individual subjects but not on the composite.  So if my kid increases from 35 to 36 on one test (but goes down on the others), the best composite remains unchanged, there's a small bump on one section, and it seems like a wash for all the previous downside reasons that were stated.  On top of that, kid doesn't want to take it again, so that's one less battle for me.[/quote]
