<p>I took the February ACT and got a 34 (which I was very surprised and pleased about). However, yesterday I took the March SAT, and I do not think it went very well. On all of my practice SAT tests, I usually score around 2000-2100, which is not nearly as impressive as my ACT score.</p>
<p>So, I had a couple questions.
-I heard that to submit SAT II subject test scores, you need to also submit SAT scores. Is this true?
-Should I even bother trying to improve my SAT scores and retake the test? Or should I just be content with my 34 on the ACT?
-My GPA is 4.1 right now (likely to dip a little after this year), and I am from the east coast. I have been looking at schools such as UVA, Stanford, William and Mary, Georgetown, UCLA, USC, and Duke.</p>
<p>Basically, I would just like to know what the best course of action would be regarding SAT retakes. Thanks!</p>
<p>Wow I’m in almost the exact same situation as you are (same scores same dates same schools). At first I thought that having an unimpressive SAT score wouldn’t hurt anything, but then I saw the stats and at Georgetown I found out only 4% of admits submitted ACT. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on with that.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard that about colleges seeing your SAT’s when you send SAT II’s, Im curious to find out what the answer to that is. </p>
<p>If I were you I’d retake just in case. What sections are holding you down? You should work on those from a test book.</p>
<p>I believe that if you only take SAT 2’s then you can just have collegeboard send those to your schools, but if you have taken the SAT reasoning test, then that will be on your official score report that gets sent to colleges, so in that case, they will see it. But no, you shouldn’t have to take the SAT I to submit SAT 2’s.</p>
<p>irishevan, don’t listen to collegeboard.com for the ACT %, it’s unreliable for this because its clearly biased. I made the same mistake with Columbia and Penn.</p>
