Should I retake my ACT if my score was a 31?

Don't want to do worse, always want to do better. I do not want to get stuck in a loop getting worse scores and never getting a 31 again. #pleasehelp

Hi! Congrats on getting a 31, that's great! From my experience, getting a lower score doesn't negatively affect you. Colleges tend to look at your higher score if that's what you're concerned about.

Hi Cian,


From my research, the ACT scores range from 1-36, and the average score is 20.8, so in my opinion, a score of 31 is pretty good! If you believe you think you can achieve a score higher than 31, then it might be work re-taking, otherwise it might be best to stick with your current score.

It depends...what is your goal? A particular school? A particular major? Scholarships? A 31 is a good score!

Hi Cian,

A 31 looks great as it is! I don't believe you have to re-take the test, but if you want to give it another try, go for it. Any college you apply to will take your highest score. :)

I would say not to worry about it because it is a pretty great score.

Hope this helps.
