    A composite score of 36, the highest possible score on the ACT exam, is equivalent to a perfect score.

    The ACT is scored on a scale of 1-36, with 1 being the lowest and 36 being a perfect score. No university or college demands a perfect ACT composite score of 36, thus, students should aim for a score of 30+ and score slightly above the minimum ACT score requirements. Hence, its good to aim for the perfect ACT score but not aimlessly targetting for 36 will be a more sensible approach.

Yes, prospective students are eligible to apply for as many ACT exam dates as they wish to. Be it be both dates in a month or other furture dates. The ACT registration will have to be done separately for different dates of a month, they cannot be registered through a same email id. Its always better to appear for one exam date first and if the need arises, applicants can register for ACT once again if they are dissatisfied with their current scores.

Typically, Riga Technical University does not mandatorily require ACT or SAT scores as an admission requirement or a deciding factor. The university generally looks for other factors, which include academic criteria and meeting English language proficiency requirements. Applications are also judged on the basis of their completeness and whether the candidate has submitted all the documents required for the admission process or not. However, if the candidate chooses to submit the ACT or SAT scores for UG admission, the scores could be taken under review.
