ACT: 32 To send or Not to Send

<p>Okay, I got a 2130 on the SATs averaging around 700 for each section.</p>

<p>Then I took the ACT, and got 35 (English), 31 (Math), 28 (Reading), and 32 (Science).</p>

<p>Should I send my ACT scores to my colleges? I got them yesterday through the mail. I'm happy with my composite score (and extremely happy with my science score), but brooding about the 28 on the reading.</p>

<p>Your ACT is about equal to your SAT. </p>

<p>An ACT 32 is equal to a 1420 (m+cr) SAT or 2130. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about the 28 in reading, because your composite is in the 99th percentile.</p>

<p>However, since your ACT is essentially equal to your SAT, it may be not be needed unless an ACT 32 is specified for some scholarship or something.</p>

<p>What was your Math + CR SAT? If it’s less than 1420, then your ACT is better.</p>

<p>I would send both–the SAT to show that you have good reading comprehension, and the ACT score to get out of having to take extra SAT subject tests. =P</p>

<p>I have a 1430 on the SAT, and it said that my reading for ACT was in the 85 percentile versus the 95 percentile on the critical reading for SAT. </p>

<p>I took the ACT because I needed a score for science and wanted to try the SAT I again, and there was only one test date left. Seems like there isn’t a point in sending the scores since I already have 2 SAT Subject Tests.</p>
