Quick Question: 2010 SAT or 28 ACT?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Pomona College

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm new to this whole forum, but I thought I might as well ask here. I'm applying to Pomona this year, in addition to several other top schools, and my standardized test scores are clearly the weakest part of my application.</p>

<p>I have taken the SAT three times and I do not plan on taking it again (for obvious reasons). This past October, I received my highest score in one sitting (1980), and my super score is now 2010.</p>

<p>Critical Reading - 660 (Should have been better)
Math - 600 (Yeah, that's the weakness)
Writing - 750
Essay - 10</p>

<p>I took the ACT this fall and received a composite score of 28. The breakdown was as follows:</p>

<p>Reading - 31
Math - 24 (At least I'm consistent! Ha)
Science - 21 (Oh, yeah, hm)
English - 35
Essay - 9</p>

<p>I just re-took the ACT yesterday, but I have no idea how it went.. Likely about the same.</p>

<p>Obviously, my scores are not the most competitive, so I don't need to be told that. My main question is - which set of scores is strongest? SAT or ACT?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Both scores are impressive. However, according to this SAT-ACT conversion chart (SAT-ACT</a> Conversion chart),
the 2010 on the SAT is slightly "better" than the 28 on the ACT. However, both scores are strong.</p>

<p>Send both, they are similar enough that it will only help you.</p>
