Send SAT or ACT? Or both?

Test Preparation

<p>I just got my May SAT results and have been looking at a bunch of different conversion tables to compare my SAT to my ACT score. Based on what I've seen, they come out as roughly the same score, so I'm trying to figure out which would be better to send to colleges. Would it just make sense to send both? Or would there be a situation in which I can only send one or the other?</p>

<p>SAT: CR-730 M-760 W-770 (Essay: 12) Total: 2260
ACT: E-33 M-34 R-36 S-31 (Essay: 11) Total: 34</p>

<p>I'm not going to retake the SAT but I will be retaking the ACT soon, and if I get a 35 then I'll definitely send that over the 2260. But for now, I'd really appreciate any advice, and I hope that this isn't a stupid question. I guess it might make sense to send both scores in if that's an option, but I just want to make sure. And I'm trying to shoot for an ivy league school or a university of that same level, if that makes a difference</p>

<p>There’s not really any reason to send both. Just send the SAT. You have a better essay score on it.</p>

<p>So that’s the best option? Send the SAT score? I just want to make sure I’m not missing out on anything by not sending both scores. Would colleges see both and like the fact that both the SAT and ACT reinforce one another? No other opinions?</p>

<p>If they’re the same then just send both. They reinforce each other. I highly doubt sending one, the other, or both will make a measurable difference in college decisions. Relax, you are overthinking this.</p>
