<p>For the SAT, I got a 2280: 760 Math (missed 2 awfully simple questions), 770 Critical Reading, 750 Writing, and Essay 10.</p>
<p>As for the ACT? a rotten 33.25...</p>
<p>Now would it be detrimental for me to add the ACT score?</p>
<p>I personally find the ACT leaning too far into quantity than quality of its questions and as a result, people tend to get penalized heavily for making minor mistakes. Besides, does one really effectively measure performance via a rough scale of integers? At least College Board does a good job by giving scores in a finer exactness of 200 to 800...(I hope this sounds clear enough.)</p>
<p>Both - the more data points that a college has allows them to gain a better picture of who you are. Frankly, your ACT and SAT are so close that obsessing over which is better only points to your being over concerned with tests and not with being a well rounded person. </p>
<p>Your test scores are great; relax. Go work on leadership, ecs, and being an interesting person.</p>
<p>It depends, do you have good SAT II scores and AP scores to send in? If not, add in the ACT. ACT is much more knowledge based than the SAT is and it shows that you’ve actually learned something in highschool.</p>
<p>By the way, that ACT score isn’t quite as rotten as you’d think. It’s in the 75th percentile in almost every top tier school besides possible Harvard and Princeton which it’s probably top 50th percentile.</p>
<p>Not sure by how close they are…around here, a ton of people get 35 and a few 36s that it is not even rare…and 33 and 34s are just everywhere…I’d point to almost everyone in my classes to have 33 and 34s on ACTs, but odd how on SATs, there aren’t that many good ones.</p>
<p>well, the main part of everyone’s AP scores comes around the 3rd week of July or so…so I wouldn’t quite know. I got two recent 800’s on the SAT ii’s.</p>
<p>I think you should submit both. I don’t know if this is true for all colleges, but I know some only look at the best score, after scaling it to the same scale.</p>
