<p>Which of these should I submit to colleges?</p>

<p>The colleges I'm looking at super score, so which do you think I have a better chance of improving on by taking the test again?</p>

<p>Submit the ACT, and IMO there is no reason to retake, a 33 is a perfectly respectable score for any school. It looks like math is your weakest score on both tests so unless you think you could get that up on the ACT I would focus on other parts of your application.</p>

<p>Definitely agree with @GA2012MOM. Your ACT has a much nicer distribution, even though it is still a bit heavier on the Reading than it is on everything else. Your Math score is still slightly weak (not really sure what you’re planning on majoring in), but your science score is very good.</p>

<p>A 33 is a very good score for most colleges, considering it’s probably top 25% for most schools (Caltech, MIT, etc. being exceptions; even for most of the Ivies a 33 would put you in the top third).</p>

<p>Submit the ACT. It shows a stronger Math score. I wouldn’t retake the 33 unless you know for sure your Math will increase.</p>

<p>@micmatt513‌ I want to major in psychology at Claremont McKenna.
@SlackerMomMD‌ I didn’t study at all for the ACT, and could potentially increase my math score. </p>

<p>In my opinion, your SAT looks easier to improve. You did the best on by far, the toughest section of the test (CR) and it looks like you only need to review the College Board essay format to boost your writing score and brush up on some math concepts/focus on the harder questions for the math section. If you do those and your CR stays where it is, I could see you easily getting up into the 2300s. If all else fails, you would have your superscore to rely on, too (assuming Claremont McKenna superscores).</p>
