Should I use both ACT and SAT scores?

Applying to College
1

<p>I got a 2160 on the SAT (650 reading, 800 math, 710 writing), and a 31 on the ACT (35 English, 33 reading, 30 math, 26 science). I got an 8 on both essays, and my combined English/writing score for the ACT is 31. </p>

<p>Should I put both my SAT and ACT scores on my college applications? I believe my SAT score is better, but I did better on the ACT reading than SAT. I also don't want my ACT science score to show because it's so low.
I'm applying to colleges including Stanford, Northwestern, Cornell, Duke, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD.</p>

<p>If you don’t have SAT II scores you might need to.
I would put both because if they couls be ‘superscored’ it would be higher.</p>

<p>I have not heard schools that superscore between the 2 tests, however, they may look at individual section scores of both tests. Your composite score for SAT is slightly better than ACT. The Math in SAT is far better than Math in ACT, while the reading scores are opposite. So in your case, sending both may help to complement each other when they look closely on your section scores.</p>

<p>My SAT subject test scores are 800 for Math 2, 760 for US history, 700 for chemistry, and 680 for world history.</p>
