<p>Hey. I've taken the ACT last year and once this year. I will be submitting an ACT score instead of the SAT. I received the same composite score for both tests, and I was wondering which ACT score I should submit.</p>
<p>June 2009:
English: 28
Math: 33
Reading: 27
Science: 30
Combined English/Writing: 26 (Essay 8)
Composite: 30</p>
<p>September 2009:
English: 27
Math: 32
Reading: 27
Science: 35
Combined English/Writing: 25 (Essay 7)
Composite: 30</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You could just send both and let them choose which one they like. Othwerwise, for many your first score will be considered a tad better because they believe the math and ERnglish scores are the more important ones.</p>
<p>Submit both, as many colleges are starting to accept superscoring, or at least consider the highest scores for applications. Also, your writing score is higher on the first test, even though it is not part of the composite, it is considered during the application process, and an 8 is much better than a 7…</p>
<p>Should I submit my SATII scores to the colleges that do not require SATIIs if I submit my ACT?
I got a 650 Bio E, 700 Math 1
Also, am I required to submit my AP scores to all the colleges even though I won’t get credited for a 3 and 4?</p>
<p>Bump. Help anyone?</p>
<p>If you can afford to send both I would.</p>
<p>If you are only sending one, I would send the result from the first sitting.</p>
<p>If you are willing to pay to send the SAT II’s, I would. They are strong scores and in line with you ACT scores.</p>
<p>You do not have to pay to send your AP scores. As for self reporting, the usual answer it to report them. Colleges will see that you have taken AP classes and notice the lack of test score. They are likely to assume the worst and that the missing scores were a 1 or 2.</p>
<p>Although they may not openly state it, many schools superscore or consider only your best scores/subscores. Bearing that in mind, however, one school may not have the same admissions policy as another. If you can’t decide which one to send in, it can’t hurt to call the admissions office of the schools you’re most interested in to ask about admissions policy. You can also check with your counselor if you don’t want to call.</p>
<p>While you may not get credit for a 3 or 4 at some Tier 1/2 schools (especially private ones), there are still many schools that will accept 3s or 4s (especially state universities). A 3 is a passing score, and a 4 is considered good (if not great). Only reporting your 4s or 5s (and not your 3s) won’t hurt your application, and your grades/ACT/extracurriculars are far more important. The only AP score that I didn’t self-report was a 3 and I still got into a ton of great schools. </p>
<p>As for your SAT II scores, a 700 or above is considered great/excellent, and it can only help your application (no matter where you send it to). A number of schools require SAT II scores to be sent in, while others only recommend it. However, most of these schools are Tier 1 schools.</p>
