<p>Does the Academy take the best of your scores in a subject area? If i was to do better in the math part of my SAT then the ACT, but worse in the critical reading will the Academy look for the best or do they just look at all the scores overall. I am asking this because i just got my results back from the SAT and they are not looking too good, but the ACT is considered more important in my region and I feel like i should take that over again instead of the SAT. Or should i just pay the money, do them both over again, and try for better results.</p>
<p>Students often see a considerable test score improvement on a second or third attempt at both tests. The Naval Academy's Admissions Board uses the highest combination of verbal/critical reading and math scores from all SAT or ACT tests taken by a candidate. The writing section should be taken by all candidates. Therefore, candidates will normally enhance their competitiveness simply by taking both the SAT and the ACT more than once.</p>
