Submit SAT or ACT score?

Test Preparation
1

<p>If you'll bear with me...I've got a question. My SAT and ACT match up pretty well, and I'm not sure which one I should submit. Originally I was going to submit the better score, but they ended up tying each other.</p>

<p>SAT: 800 math, 800 writing, 790 CR
ACT: 36 english, 34 reading, 35 math, 36 science</p>

2

<p>Submit both…</p>

3

<p>The SAT score is a little better, but you should send both nonetheless.</p>

4

<p>1600 and 2390 is a slight bit better than a 35, I’d submit SAT if I had to chose, but you should probably submit both of them if you don’t mind paying the extra ($9 x Schools)</p>

5

<p>How much weight does a 36 actually have?</p>

6

<p>arguably just as much as a 2400 does</p>

7

<p>Submit them both. Both are excellent scores, and the colleges that you are applying to will surely be impressed.</p>

8

<p>You should submit both, since they’re, as you said, pretty much tying. Both are fairly impressive and should be looked at!</p>

<p>But, if you REALLLY had to choose one, submit the SAT.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not exactly: the OP’s ACT score concords to 2330.</p>

<p>

<p>I would say almost as much. Even ACT admits that 36 does not quite concord to 2400. Plus, a 36 composite is an average of the sections, whereas the SAT composite is additively obtained.</p>

<p>So the SAT might have a little bit more weight to it…thanks for all the input guys!</p>
