Submitting ACT/SAT

<p>Ok so here's the situation</p>

<p>On the 10th I will be taking the ACT and expecting at least 33+. I will, sadly, be my 4th time.
This means I think at least 1 or 2 of the other tests have scores in EVERY section that are lower. Many say to submit all the scores regardless....but i'm not so sure that I should do it in my case....especially because of the number of times I have taken it which may make it look bad.</p>

<p>Also, my SAT score is only 2040, much lower than my converted ACT. I only took that 1 time. Should I even submit that? I really don't want to take the SAT again if I do good on this ACT, especially because I'm really busy with school and apps. Theres also the problem that I only have 2 Sat2s....and most schools if you take ACT, you dont need subject tests</p>

<p>For a college that looks at all scores submit sat </p>

<p>For score choice, submit act. </p>

<p>Good luck !!!</p>

<p>Yea haha I was already sort of confused by this score choice thing.</p>

<p>Do most schools require you to submit all scores? But how will they know if I submitted all or just some of them. Also, does this also apply to ACT? I heard some schools said its ok and some said they want it all</p>

<p>You almost have to go on each college website and read their score requirements. Some encourage reporting all scores while others require it. If not required to send everything, I would just send your highest ACT composite score. This of course assumes you never filled out any college codes for free score reports on earlier tests. Also, you must check your school’s policies regarding score reporting on your HS transcript. Some HS transcripts list all scores received, some list none, some let you choose what you want on transcript. Colleges will see this so you want to be consistent.</p>

<p>Thanks Mini Van, I didnt know I had to check with transcript o.O</p>

<p>Bumperzzzz</p>

<p>I was told by some to just submit the top couple act scores, is this correct?</p>

<p>Still want some other opinions :/</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There is no universal correct answer for test scores, requirements vary between schools so you have to look at each college. For example:</p>

<p>Yale does not accept score choice, you must report all ACT scores and send your best (sending only 1 ACT score is special due to cost considerations), so you would self-report all 4 and send 1.</p>

<p>Princeton accepts score choice but does not superscore the ACT, so you would report and send your highest composite ACT.</p>

<p>UChicago accepts score choice and superscores the ACT, so you might want to report and send a couple of sittings with the highest section scores.</p>

<p>Hmm ok great, but what’s the difference between self-reporting and send one? As in writing all the scores on the app, but only request one sent by ACT?</p>

<p>^Exactly. </p>

<p>The ACT requires that the student pay for every sitting of the ACT sent, while the SAT sends scores from all sittings for one price. That’s why Y only requires 1 ACT be sent, while they require all SAT scores sent.</p>
