Sent High SAT but low ACT

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi,
I took the SAT (second time) in September and didn't know how well I would do on it, so I signed up to take the ACT again (second time).
Since I was doing early action I had to send the ACT before I even took it.</p>

<p>The scores came out today and I did worse on the ACT the second time in all subscores except science, and I cannot cancel the scores. </p>

<p>Also all my colleges superscore the ACT. </p>

<p>Will colleges take notice that I dropped in all other subscores (except science) the second time I took it and use it against me and my chances or will they disregard it completely and just look at the highest scores of all of them?</p>

<p>Also, my SAT was significantly higher than my superscored ACT ( SAT is in the ballpark, but ACT is a little shy from what they are looking for).</p>

<p>Will they just look at the highest standardized test overall?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Colleges that superscore the ACT will disregard your lower scores, even if they are in later sittings of the test. Most schools that superscore the ACT will also consider only the highest test scores overall, which in your case means they’ll likely consider only your SATs. </p>

<p>In any event, you have sent all these scores and it is out of your hands now. Try to stop worrying and focus on things over which you have control.</p>
