Standardized Test Scores?
I’m 17 and just recently took the SAT and ACT for the first time. I got a 32 on the ACT (99th percentile) and a 2110 (760 math, 720 writing, 630 reading) on the SAT without studying at all. I will be a senior next year and got a 4.657 last semester, should I take either test again.

It all depends on what kind of school you’re aiming for. Your scores aren’t stellar, but they’re definitely respectable. And standardized test scores aren’t everything. Still, though, I think that your future might be worth investing some study time in, and you should be able to pull those grades up with some elbow grease.

If you think you can do better with just a wee bit of studying, there’s no reason not to take them again. You may do better just by virtue of knowing the test format better now that you’ve taken them.
32 on the ACT is high enough to qualify for most scholarships, but some of them (one state-wide academic scholarship that I got here in my state, and others) start at 33, and especially for state colleges the higher your score the more scholarship money you qualify for. (I don’t know as much about the SAT and scholarships, since I rode on my 35 ACT score.)
So it’s up to you. Those are really good scores, especially for your first time, but if you think you can do any better at all, there’s no reason not to try.
Good luck!

Those are very good scores, but this depends on what schools you are interested in attending. I got a similar score without studying but just a little more studying increased my score significantly. Really, you have nothing to lose by taking them again. Who knows, with just a bit of studying, you may do even better and then not only be guaranteed admission to most schools but also receive scholarships. good luck!

It’s not necessary. With your GPA and ACT/SAT scores you can get into just about any school in the country with a full merit based scholarship

No, probably not considering that you have already achieved some of the best scores possible. If you think that you will increase your score by a considerable amount, go ahead, but you don’t NEED to.
