<p>heys, im applying to college this year and I got a question.</p>
<p>I have an SAt score of 1980- math 690, reading 650, and writing 640. but my ACt score is 32 composite, 31 reading, 35 math, 32 writing(29 composite writing), and 29 science.</p>
<p>I was looking at the colleges I am applying to and they say on thier stats that my ACT scores are in the uper 70%- to 90% percentile, whereas my SAT scores are 25% to 60% percentile.</p>
<p>So i guess my question is, should I report both my scores, or just the ACT since they are technically better? The colleges I am applying to require one or the other but none say you have to have both.</p>
<p>oh and do I need to send my scores to them, or will the scores listed on my transcript suffice(did I use that word right? lol)</p>
<p>thanks for the help!</p>
<p>I like those ACT scores better. You don't have to report all of your scores. Send the ones that are the best. </p>
<p>Most colleges prefer scores sent directly from the College Board or ACT.</p>
<p>thanks, so you think I should just send ACT, because I was planning on doing that, only I dunno whether colleges would think you challenge yourself more or something if you took both and showed how you did in both.</p>
<p>any other opinions, and man it cost like 15 bucks and I am applying to like 4 schools so its like $60 bucks for nothing lol.</p>
<p>oh yea I am applying to some pretty(i mean very) selective schools, so is it better to just show your best or show your good and ok too?</p>
<p>what cost $15 each? Are you rushing scores?</p>
<p>Most colleges want to see one or the other, whatever is stronger. If you had strong scores in both types of tests I would send both. Not sending one doesn't show anything bad about you, just your performance in one test was good.</p>
<p>If you have time, take another one. Everyone seems to improve a second time. I usually recommend taking a second ACT or second SAT, based on the performance of the first test administration.</p>
<p>thanks, and yea they cost 15 bucks.</p>
<p>and I took SAT's 3 times already and I don't think I will take ACT again cause I am sure I won't do better, lol, no but I have doubt that I can take it after such a long summer of doing nothing. But i might take SAT's again, you think I should? cause I got a 1380 and thats about average for UVA(where I wanna go) but 32 is like above the 75th percentile for ACT and I sent both scores to them already,</p>
<p>thanks alot, I think I will end up asking guidance counselor or someone about this.</p>
<p>you would be better off retaking the ACT if you were to retake any test. If you are comfortable with your scores, go just with the high ones!</p>
