<p>I just got my newest SAT scores this morning. My superscore (which I believe MIT takes) is as follows:</p>
<p>800 CR 730 W 690 M.</p>
<p>This math score is quite low for MIT. My ACT superscore of 35 (which I do not believe MIT takes) is as follows:</p>
<p>36 Eng 33 Math 36 Read 35 Sci.</p>
<p>I'm taking Math I and II Nov. 1 and applying early action. Do you think it is extra important that I show them I can do math by means of SAT II? When they consider my app do you think the 33 in ACT math will counteract my SAT math score? I would like to major in economics. </p>
<p>SAT math truly is easier than ACT math; it is just far trickier. I assume that Subject Tests are more straightforward with more difficult concepts?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>MIT definitely does accept the ACT. But they require the ACT Plus Writing -- and I don't see an ACT writing score in your post. Did I miss something?</p>
<p>Here's a link (to MIT's admissions site) re their testing requirements:</p>

<p>Also, I see that you are planning to take both versions of the Math SAT Subject Test (i.e. SAT II) November 1? MIT requires only one, but they also definitely require an SAT Subject Test in science: Have you already taken one of those, and had it sent to MIT? (These subject test/SAT II requirements are also clarified in the link above).</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes. I know they accept the ACT. It is my flagship score. I was referring to the superscoring aspect. I have a 10 on the writing part, but it is not attached to my highest composite.</p>
<p>I'm taking both maths partly because I do not have anything else to take and partially because I may do better on one than the other. If it is on Math II, I would prefer to send that. I hear that it has more difficult concepts but is less tricky. I have a 780 in Biology M so my science SAT II should be covered.</p>
<p>SAT Math II is much harder than the ACT/SAT math. Those are pretty much just basic math with the trickery. Math II is higher level math and still tricky.</p>
<p>MIT will use the scores that present you in the best light, so if you report all of your scores, they will look only at the best of the SAT or ACT scores. (I believe they convert ACT scores to an SAT scale, but I don't know what the conversion is.)</p>
