<p>First off, I am a soph. in high school and will be taking the SAT, and/or the ACT tests soon. I am looking for which test I should take and prioritize over the other. I am also wondering whether schools can see all of your ACT or SAT scores or if you can just submit your high score.
Here are some schools I am looking at:</p>
<p>Temple Uni.
Penn State Berks
Penn State Altoona
Pitt Greensburg
Pitt Bradford
West Virginia Uni.
Utah State
Coastal Carolina</p>
<p>The ones you list take either test without preference and allow you to send the scores you want to send. A College Board publication created shortly after its score choice policy was adopted lists Temple and Utah State as schools that adopted an anti-score choice rule requiring applicants to submit all scores but that publication is wrong in many respects (a number of colleges originally told CB they would adopt an all scores rule but then never did) and those two colleges do not have an all scores rule. </p>
<p>Thus, you can send official scores of your choice and neither College Board nor ACT will tell colleges you have other scores. However, exercising score choice does not mean the colleges will necessarily not learn of all your scores. Many high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript sent to colleges. Thus, whether you can prevent those schools from learning of all your scores depends on what your high school does.</p>
<p>Pitt superscores, Penn State doesn’t…at least this is how it is at their main campuses. I’m not sure how that trickles down to their branch campuses, but I would imagine they have the same policies.</p>
<p>I personally did much better on the ACT. If you want harder problems but more time, go with the SAT. If you want easier problems but less time (much less time, I might add), go with the ACT. I would recommend you take both if possible, though.</p>
