<p>cuz i'm not doing well with the sat
so now i'm considering the act
and is the math and verbal harder or easier on the act?
and do we have to write an essay on the act?</p>
<p>Title: No, you can choose</p>
<p>Math/Verbal: Miss 3 and your down to a 33. The curve is harsh but the questions are much easier. Math, you miss 4 and your down to a 31/32. 32= 1400. So much harsher curves but if you manage your time well, then you should have no problem.</p>
<p>Essay: Optional, but you should take it</p>
<p>No the essay is only a option, but some colleges require or recommend it. Check out the policies of the schools you're applying to.</p>
<p>As far as whether they see every score, I'm not sure. My counselour told me all the scores get sent in with your resume/transcipt/whatever, but I've seen on these boards that you only have to send in your highest.</p>
