<p>so after taking both tests I have somewhat of a dilemna.</p>
<p>On the SAT, I got an 1180/1600 540 on math and 640 reading. While taking the ACT I got a 26 on the math which converts to around a 600 on the SAT, so does this basiclly mean I got a 1240/1600 on the sat. Or will colleges frown upon my decent ACT math, but poor SAT math </p>
<p>I am applying to mostly large state universities with a few reaches...</p>
<p>You can report whichever you want, but they won’t translate them into the same grade. Report both if you want. How did you do on the rest of that ACT? if it translates to higher than your SAT then only report your ACT scores. </p>
<p>Chance me please:

<p>the first time i took the ACT i got a 25 composite, 29 reading 26 math 20 english (bad) and 23 science.</p>
<p>the second time my english score went up by 1 to a 21 but my math dropped 2 to a 24 giving me a composite of 24.</p>
<p>first time sat :530 math and 570 reading</p>
<p>second time 540 math and 640 reading…</p>
<p>There really isn’t THAT much of a difference between your SAT/ACT scores. But regardless, you should be fine with the ACT scores; most colleges are well aware of disparities between scores on ACT sections. I’ve seen plenty of 33’s that have a 28 science/English score. They’re well aware it’s usually just a matter of 1-3 questions determining a whole composite point.</p>
<p>Know that they do look at the whole package, not nit-grit at every individual detail. It seems to me you have a spark with English as a whole (from your SAT). A higher ACT English score plus good grades in English and superb essays should win them over.</p>
<p>so should i only sumbit only the act scores, i have been sending both scores to colleges?</p>
