<p>So I did relatively well on my first SAT in March (2320), but decided to take the ACTs to see if I would do better.</p>
<p>Turns out I did comparatively much worse. I got a 32 on this recent June ACT, which correlates to a 2130 or so. Yiiiiikes.</p>
<p>I'm planning on trying to apply to some Ivy Leagues this fall which require all scores to be sent. Will this 32 hurt me, seeing as I took the ACT after the SAT and did worse? Should I retake the ACT to show the colleges that I can do better, or should I concentrate on SAT IIs? Will it look like a fluke since I got a high SAT score and then a low ACT score?</p>
<p>Check into the specific school’s policies - some universities require that you send your entire testing record from EITHER testing service. Accordingly, you could withhold all ACT scores from the college and just send SAT’s.</p>

My plan so far is to apply ED to Penn, which requires every single testing from both SAT and ACT. But I’ll check on some other schools to note their score policies!</p>
<p>I kind of regret taking the ACT as it looks as if my SAT score is just luck, when in fact I think I’m just an SAT person rather than an ACT person :/</p>

Ah, thanks ^^ I just wish that my ACT score could go up a few more points. The science section really killed me there.</p>
<p>I don’t think you need to send in your ACT score. How are they supposed to know that you even took the ACT unless you told them to send those schools your score during registration? If you did, then that might be a different story. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure they only want to see one score and that you’ll be fine just sending in your SAT score. Not positive, though.</p>

Some schools require complete testing history, so I’m not sure–would they find out students are holding information from them? To be extra safe, I’ll probably end up deleting this score.</p>
