<p>I have a 33 ACT, and 35 super score (which they do look at "highest" subsections, but they dont necessarily make a super score- but then i have 35s on each section). and i have these SAT IIs
bio e 690 (gahh)
math II 740
lit 720</p>
<p>send or no send?</p>
<p>my SAT is 2200</p>
<p>northwestern is an ACT school, so i dont think it is necessary to send them</p>
<p>yea, sent it. SAT II is important</p>
<p>your SATs are great - send them. The 690 in bio is probably in the 90th percentile or above, so why worry that there's no "7" at the front end?</p>
<p>It's hard to read, but here's the correlation between ACT & SAT scores.</p>

SAT–ACT Score Comparisons
SAT to ACT ACT to SAT
Points to Note
● Equivalent scores are those with the same percentile ranks for a common group of test-takers.
● A concordance table is dependent upon the sample used to establish the relationship between two sets of
scores. Other available SAT—ACT tables use different samples of colleges and students than this table,
resulting in slightly different equivalent scores. For this reason, the best concordance table is one that is
established for and used by a specific institution.
● Data in this table are based on 103,525 test-takers who took both the SAT and the ACT between October
1994 and December 1996.
● SAT scores do not cover the full range of the ACT scale due to differences in how percentiles are distributed
at the top and bottom of the two scales.
● Although the new SAT will have significant changes that will more closely align the test with current
instructional practices, the new SAT field trial research has conclusively demonstrated that scores on the
new critical reading section will be comparable to scores on the current verbal section, and scores on the
new math section will be comparable to scores on the current math section. Therefore, current concordance
tables can still be used to compare new SAT and ACT scores.

<p>I would send those scores</p>
<p>absolutely send. theyre not bad at all.</p>
<p>thanks for the input!!
i just sent my scores via collegeboard
(this sending-scores-business is adding up to quite a bit of money!)</p>

</p>
<p>Wait, what? Northwestern "looks" at the highest subsections but doesn't superscore?
Does that mean it's to your advantage to send more than one ACT report if one of your subsection scores went down even though your composite went up?</p>
<p>And yeah, sending a bunch of scores really adds up. :(</p>
<p>Good luck with your app!</p>
<p>your scores are absolutely fine, I would certainly send them.</p>
<p>EDIT: sorry, i just read you already sent them. good decision imo</p>
