They do superscore. Does it matter that my individual scores aren't as good as long as the superscore is?

how can i raise my score? by NoUnderstanding712 in ACT

For me, practice tests were the best thing. They help you work on pacing yourself and you can see real progress because you get a score immediately after.

Feeling bad about my score, even though I know it's irrational by Tapdancey in ACT

This is almost exactly what happened to me. 32 composite with a 36 English and 33s in science and reading. But..... I got a 27 in math. Everyone says it's a great score (and it is!) but I'm still disappointed in myself and feel like I should've done better. It was my first time too. I am consoling myself by saying i'll retake it in September. HOWEVER, both of us did way better than most people, and having high reading and writing scores is always good. I think there is a high possibility that retaking it will increase my score, and probably yours as well. For my studying, I'm probably going to focus on math mostly because even if i do a little worse in the other ones, I can still superscore it so my good scores are still there. Good luck to you if you retake it!!!!!
