Should I send my ACT scores?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have taken the ACT with writing last october… I was the only one in my whole country to do it!</p>

<p>It all went great, but I completely panicked on the Science test, and only got 24. I got 33 in English, 34 in Reading and 32 in Mathematics. That's a 31 Composite.</p>

<p>I am an international student, and I didn't speak a word of English five years ago. So having that scores in English and Reading is just great, but I want to become an engineer, and the science section is a liability.</p>

<p>I have got 1970 on the SAT test, with 780 in Maths, 570 in Writing, and 620 in Critical Reading. Should I just send both scores, and add in the additional informations that, for an unknown reason, I did not do my best on the ACT Science? I'm sending to top schools only. I can't retake it since my country does not have any testing center available in December.</p>

<p>Thank you by advance for your answers.</p>

<p>Don’t send your ACT. Your 24, when converted to SAT score scale, is 1680, which is substantially lower than your 1970.</p>

<p>^ He/she got a 31 composite.</p>

<p>31 Composite is better than your 1970 (31 is equivalent to a 2060-2070 on the SAT).</p>

<p>Ok, so you say I should send my ACT, despite my science section correlated with my desire to become an engineer?</p>

<p>

Ooops, my bad.</p>

<p>

Yes.
Remember, whether you will become a good engineer or not does not depend on just one test score.</p>

<p>Most schools just look at composite so your 24 in Science wont even be looked at most likely</p>
