<p>What do you think a university would think if an application contained an ACT composite score of 30 and a M+CR SAT score of 1100? Some schools (Georgetown for example) make you send scores from ALL test sittings. Opinions please? And thank you!</p>
<p>This is funny. My daughter has this exact situation. High act composite with horrible sat. I didn’t think you had to report your scores if you didn’t want to?? She is taking sat again this weekend because we paid for it but unless a miracle occurs in the math section, the test is going to get trashed…</p>
<p>Now you have me worried!</p>
<p>Georgetown makes you submit all scores from all test sittings. I don’t know what other schools do. I think it is unusual though so don’t panic! And tell your D good luck this weekend! :)</p>
<p>Both of my sons did better on the ACT then the SAT. We attributed this to simple differences in the tests.</p>
<p>We decided to focus on strengths and have them retake the ACT and forget the SAT. Both their scores improved on the second ACT taking. They’ll take it one more time June 11. One of my sons is applying to schools that require all scores. We’ll report the lower SAT score and hope that this is compensated by the better ACT performances.</p>
<p>The SAT and the ACT are written by two different organizations, each of which has its own perspective on what and how to test. It should be no surprise to anyone that it is possible to do well on one and wipe out on the other.</p>
<p>What I find peculiar is that a college or university would request that an applicant submit all test scores from BOTH exams. How on earth would that institution know that an applicant took both exams unless the applicant were to tell it so?</p>
<p>^^what she said…</p>
<p>.unless they require one to TAKE both exams, how would they know you did…?</p>
<p>The problem is that if they find out you took it and you didn’t submit when you were supposed to, the admission could be rescinded. And AP tests are done through Collegeboard (like the SAT) and everything is probably linked with the Social Security number. :(</p>

<p>In our case my son simply sent the scores for both tests via the four free reports you get when you sign up for the tests. In retrospect we may have been better off waiting to see the scores and then paying the extra fees to select which scores to send but that ship has sailed.</p>
