Hi, I had a question about how colleges look at a student who ACT and SAT. I received a signficantly better score on the ACT (33) than on the SAT (1770). will colleges look at both of them or just consider the better one?
<p>Colleges will only look at the one you have submited to them. If you have not sent them to a college, I highly reccomend that you request your counsler not to submit your SAT scores on his or her recconmendation or your transcripts.</p>
<p>But if they require SAT II's, your SAT I score will be given on the same report as your II's.</p>
<p>uppin</p>
<p>will colleges look at the ACt instead of the SAT, since i did better on it?</p>
<p>you don't have to send the sat to most schools. I used the act and that was it.</p>
<p>Just send the ACT!!!!</p>
<p>By the way, why do you think there was such a big discrepancy? I've seen kids who were a couple of ACT points off, but that is a large difference.</p>
<p>SAT <em>somewhat</em> measures ability. ACT measures how fast you can read a freakin' chart.</p>
<p>i'm not sure, but i think it was because i didn't study for the SAT and plus I was sick that day.
the ACT, i actually took an online course for and studied. I also am not the best at math. The math makes up 1/3 of the test on the SAT. For the ACT plus writing, it makes up about 1/5. Even I'm not good at math and can figure out which one's better for me</p>
