Same. He had a 35 so it helped composite.


I don’t think it’s included in the composite anymore.


He took it last summer (current Senior) so it is for him. Those that have the old version have it included.

Does anyone know if science always comes last now that it’s optional? DS loses focus and stamina (even with his ADHD meds), so his last section is always his worst.

My DC took with the science, but you don’t have to self-report it at 99% of schools. You can leave it off and they never see it.

Yes. Mine took the science section although it’s not included in the composite score.

Interesting. We went on a couple of tours this fall and didn’t think to ask.

Our ACT prep place recommended taking the science section, even though it’s optional now, because no one knows if colleges will still want to see them. Are others hearing the same thing?
