How important is the ACT?

<p>I'm wondering how colleges view the ACT in comparison with the SAT. I have taken the SAT twice and the ACT for the first time today. I did fine on the first SAT and am awaiting what I hope to be some raised scores. I don't think I got the 31ish I was hoping for on this ACT.....is there really any benefit of me taking it again? With practice I could probably get a 32 ACT and my combined SAT will be between 2000-2100. Should I go for the 32 also, or will it have no affect on my college search/acceptance?</p>

<p>Sorry for getting wordy and repetetive--just wanted to fit everything in.</p>

<p>They don't care if you take the ACT or the SAT, so just give the best score you have out of those two.</p>

<p>There is a ACT to SAT conversion scale on a PR website, I dont remember the URL, but I am sure that if you google it, and search a little you will find it.</p>

<p>The vast majority of schools couldnt care less which one (SAT/ACT) you submit. They will take your best scores, because the better you look, the better their stats look when they report.</p>
