Taking Subject Tests through ACT

<p>Okay, so I am much more confident in taking the ACT than the SAT. I have already taken the SAT twice. The first time was sophomore year and i got a 1480 (out of 2400). Eep. However, I took it last January and improved to an 1890. However, I'm nervous about this score still. I plan to take the ACT at the end of the year and ACE it, because I am actually going to study and prepare for it this time. However, I don't want to send my college board score report with such terrible scores on there (I know Cornell doesn't do score choice). I dont want such a terrible test score on my transcript. If I do well enough on the ACT, can I just send my sub tests through that or something? Or am I screwed and have to send in my terrible SAT score as well?</p>

<p>Your school may be able to report your subject schools separately. I would call admissions and ask them if they really need an official report, or if your school’s report is fine. I know when I was applying as a freshman to other schools, they didn’t really care if it was official or not.</p>

<p>they DO need an official report.
sorry SAT has to be sent through collegeboard… ACT is a totally different company.</p>

<p>Collegeboard now has a feature called score choice, which allows you to pick and choose the scores that you want to send out, in your case Subject Tests only.</p>

<p>I know about score choice. But I thought Cornell was against this. So can I just send Cornell my Sub. Test scores and my ACT score if I so choose? Or does Cornell not allow this. </p>

<p>I will be applying for class of 2014 btw.</p>

<p>“Stanford, Cornell, Pomona, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California told NEWSWEEK their applications next fall will demand all scores.”</p>
