Send ACT or SAT/Subject tests

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey people
I was wondering about my standardized tests, and was trying to figure out what would help me the most.
Many colleges allow you to send the ACT or the SAT and 2 or 3 subject tests. I have taken both, and am due to take US History and Biology around AP time, and Math (I or II?????) in June.
I am taking the SAT again in March, hoping to reach at least a 2100.
But, if colleges let you send the ACT w/ writing in lieu of the SAT, what should I do?
My current scores are:
SAT- November-- CR/Math--670 Writing--660 Essay--8
ACT- December-- Math/Science--33 Reading/English--30 Essay--8 (Combined Eng/Essay--28)</p>

<p>I am planning on applying for science, so does it help that math and science were my high points on the ACT? What is better, a 2100 on the SAT or the previously listed ACT?
Thanks!</p>

<p>They’re pretty much the same. Your 31.5 ACT would round up to a 32.</p>

<p>Do you think having the math/science as a 33–99th percentile–help at all?</p>

<p>99%ile starts at 32.
o_O</p>

<p>i think the percentile is so high because not many people take the ACT as much as the SAT</p>

<p>As to having a high math and science score on the ACT, for many it won’t make much difference as key is composite, however, a number of colleges consider the math and English sections (not science) the more important, in fact there are some that look only at math and English score and ignore rest including science and two examples happen to be science/engineering schools – Rose Holman and Gtech (yes, they ignore the science score). So for a number colleges the high math helps somewhat but the high science makes no difference.</p>
