Question about which scores to send...

Applying to College
1

<p>I've taken the ACT twice and the SAT once, and I'm wondering which to send. Here are my scores:</p>

<p>ACT 1st time:</p>

<p>English - 29
Math - 30
Reading - 32
Science - 29
Writing - 25</p>

<p>ACT 2nd time:</p>

<p>English - 32
Math - 31
Reading - 29
Science - 29
Writing - 30</p>

<p>SAT:</p>

<p>Reading - 640
Writing - 740
Math - 800</p>

<p>So for the colleges I am applying to should I just send all the scores? Since my math was higher than reading on the SAT but the opposite was true for my ACT, will colleges take one section from one test and one from the other and combine them? I checked the common data set but it isn't very clear on this.</p>

<p>EDIT: Also, is there any way to see from the collegeboard site whether my high school has my SAT scores on file?</p>

<p>Send your 2nd ACT and your SAT. Both are good scores, and they show that you do well on both tests. (I recommended your 2nd ACT because your writing result was so much better.) Schools will not combine results from the two different (ACT and SAT) tests, but by sending them both they see those very strong areas on each.</p>

<p>Your high school has your SATs if you listed your high school on your test form.</p>

<p>I would send them all, I think they present a more complete picture, which is really what you want.</p>

<p>It was my understanding that ACT automatically sends all tests taken after 9th grade; can anyone confirm?</p>
