Question about submitting SAT/ACT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I am a rising senior who already took the SAT and did well (2300). I am considering trying my hand at the ACT to see what happens, because my friend found that he was much better at the ACT than the SAT.</p>

<p>Of course, if I choose to take the ACT I will prepare for it, but if I take the ACT and do worse than I did on the SAT, can I just not submit the ACT? Or will I have to submit the ACT anyway?</p>

<p>I know colleges say they just look at whichever one is higher, but if there is a large discrepancy between the two scores I will be embarrassed.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>There are some colleges that require you to submit both all SAT and all ACT scores, Stanford and Penn among them.</p>

<p>2300 is like a 34-35 in the ACT. Chances are you’ll match that or do worse, don’t risk it</p>

<p>According to this site ([SAT</a> ACT Conversion Chart | Convert ACT scores to SAT scores](<a href=“http://www.studypoint.com/ed/sat-to-act-conversion/]SAT”>SAT to ACT Conversion Chart: Convert Your SAT Scores to ACT Scores)), my scores (both 3 score and 2 score) are equivalent to 34s.</p>

With that in mind, do you still think it’s not worthwhile to try the ACT?</p>

<p>^dude that chart is OC. People get 35 on act but only like 2000 on sat which is equivalent to a 29</p>

<p>I’m sorry, what is OC? I thought it meant Original Content, but that definition doesn’t really fit in your sentence…</p>

<p>Are you saying the chart is inaccurate?</p>
