I think my sciences are fine but reading comprehension might raise a red flag. Should I retake this exam or would my other sections make up for it? My overall gpa and science gpa are both a 3.6 and I was planning on applying next cycle. I'm also going into my fourth year of college.

I would not automatically retake. A 360 in Reading is about an 18 on the old scale according to the ADA concordance table, and plenty of schools would be fine with that. Your sciences look good and both GPAs are solid. I think a lot depends on where you want to apply. If you are looking at more competitive schools, then I would definitely check their averages before making a decision. I would hate to see you go through a retake if you really don't need one.

Here is the ADA concordance table for the new scores:
