SAT or ACT for a UC?

<p>I got a 22 on my ACT. However, keep in mind that I'm just a average-high average student so that's not horrible for me. I got a even worse score on my SAT though, around a 1300. </p>

<p>I heard that UC's would rather have students send in their SAT score. This is because the ACT is a lot easier than the SAT. And even if a 22 is equivalent to around a 1500 on the SAT, I should just send my 1300 SAT score. Is that correct?</p>

<p>The UC’s do not prefer the SAT over the ACT. I never sent in my SAT’s just the ACT to the UC’s and im just fine. Just send in your ACT it is around 240 points better than your SAT.</p>

<p>You can send just ACT to UCs. However, despite the seeming variance I really cannot tell which of your scores is better for UCs because you provide no section scores.

You need to convert your test scores to a UC score; for ACT you combine a score obtained for overall with one obtained by converting your English with writing subscore to another UC score and then adding the two UC scores. For SAT, you determine a UC score for your combined score on math and CR and then another for writing score and total the two UC scores you get.</p>
