I took the ACT twice. On my first try I got a 31 and on my second try I got a 33 composite. I got 36E 31M 34R and 31S.
I took the SAT once and got a 1520. I got a 770 on math and 750 on reading.
Based on my research, my SAT score is equivalent to a 34 ACT. But I am considering sending both because I did better on my SAT math than my ACT. But I did better on my ACT English sections than the SAT.
Would this show colleges my math and english is fairly balanced?
Thanks.
I says don’t overthink it. Some colleges require all. Others allow choice. For example, Harvard says send the scores you want and they will take the best. They don’t admin from a formula of scores. Send both and let the colleges sort it out. 33 isn’t bad and is above the minimum bar that colleges will look at other parts of your portfolio.
First of all, you have nothing to hide. If money is not an issue, do submit both. You never know how the school compare ACT and SAT scores. Many do not use the concordance table from ACT/SAT as they put emphasis in different section score. However, if money is an issue and the school does not require all score, then you may just submit the SAT 1 score. Note that many school may require or recommend SAT2 particularly i you submit SAT1 instead of ACT. Are you going to take any SAT2?
yes, I am planning on submitting SAT 2s.
Yeah, the price of submitting all those college apps will add up.
All schools probably have their own way of comparing scores which makes this tricky.
