ACT or SAT?

<p>I'm a junior/prospective undergraduate, and throughout highschool, have found that I am much more succesful in the ACT than the SAT. So, do I need to submit all my SAT and ACT scores, or if I just submit all my ACT scores, will that be okay?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Pomona requires that you submit all test scores:</p>

<p>[Standardized</a> Testing Reporting - Pomona College](<a href=“http://www.pomona.edu/admissions/apply/standardized-testing-reporting.aspx]Standardized”>http://www.pomona.edu/admissions/apply/standardized-testing-reporting.aspx)
[Testing</a> Requirements - Pomona College](<a href=“http://www.pomona.edu/admissions/apply/testing-requirements.aspx]Testing”>http://www.pomona.edu/admissions/apply/testing-requirements.aspx)</p>

<p>My reading is that you need to send all of the ACT or all of the SAT, not all of both if you choose not to.</p>

<p>We were told they want everything. Here’s the statement you have to certify:</p>

<p>“I have read and understand the Pomona College Policy on Standardized Testing Reporting. I certify that I have submitted or will submit all ACT and/or SAT test scores from all ACT and/or SAT test dates.”</p>

<p>Right, that’s what seemed ambiguous to me. It says or, which implies that I can choose to send all my ACT scores from all ACT dates. Eh I guess I’ll just study more for the SAT. Thanks though!</p>

<p>Hi, I was in the same situation as you - 2120 on the SAT (took it once) and 35 on the ACT (took it once). I talked to my Pomona admissions officer and she said we were required to send in ALL test scores from all standardized tests we’d ever taken, so I sent in both. However, I do not think the SAT score hurt my chances of admission, as I was accepted. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about it. I took the SAT twice (2250 super score) and the ACT once (33 composite). My SAT was higher, and my ACT math score was awful (29), so I really didn’t want to send it in, because math is otherwise one of my strengths on my application.</p>

<p>Also, I would consider taking some SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>Right, I got a 2110 on my SAT and a 34 on my ACT, back to the SAT review book. Thanks for the quick replies though :)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t take the SAT more than twice (same for the ACT), and Pomona recommends the same. Your time is better spent doing other things.</p>

<p>They are going to give you the benefit of your highest scores, either ACT or SAT, so I don’t think there is that much to worry about when sending them all.</p>
