ACT in lieu of SAT+SATII?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>according to the university of pennsylvania, you may submit the ACT+writing instead of SATI and SAII subject tests. the problem with this is, that i have a 34 on my ACT, but only a 2130 on SAT. however, i did pretty well on my SAT II subject tests. is it possible to send my ACT and SATII, and not my SATI? or is it better off sending my ACT only?</p>

<p>Sending the ACT and good SAT Subject Test scores is better than sending just the ACT.</p>

<p>thanks, penn says i must send all my SATII tests, i got 800 in Math2, 780 in bio and phys, and horrible on ushistory (i shouldnt have taken it). but collegeboard says they offer a program that allows me which scores to send. so im not clear on this policy, can you please help clear this up? thx</p>

<p>Score Choice allows applicants to decide which SAT test dates’ scores they want to send, and which specific Subject Test scores they want to send. Some schools do not want their applicants to use this option, though. I believe that Penn is fine with Score Choice, but you’ll want to confirm at their Web site.</p>

<p>UPenn requires submission of all test scores taken: SAT, SATII’s, ACT, etc. There is a place on your commonapp where this will go.</p>

<p>^ Yes, Penn does “reject” Score Choice: [Penn</a> Admissions Office protests Score Choice | The Daily Pennsylvanian](<a href=“http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/node/58168]Penn”>http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/node/58168)</p>

<p>^ wow so if i got 2030 on my first sat, 2130 on my second, and ~2250 on my 3rd (i think i did fairly well), will they treat this differently than someone who only took it once and got 2250 the first time? ( i never took prep for sat)</p>

<p>^ Probably not. Most colleges have automated systems that cull the lower scores for each section and present admissions with the best score from each section. This practice is known as super-scoring and is done at almost every prominent institution.</p>

<p>@newaccount. But don’t they notice how many times you took the test? Don’t they want you not to take the SAT or ACT more than 3x?</p>
