The ACT AND the SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Can one submit both ACT and SAT scores to a college? Colleges don't seem to like the ACT as much, but if you do well on the ACT, then you should be able to put it down. With the SAT as a "security" score. Can you only submit one of the scores? I'm thinking Ivies...I've got a 2270 SAT that is highly unbalanced (V/W > M), and a more balanced ACT score could offset that.</p>

<p>Yes, you can send both. Almost all colleges give the two tests equal weight, many even allowing the ACT to be used in place of both SAT I and SAT II's.</p>

<p>Thanks. That's a relief.</p>

<p>Yeah you can send both. Some colleges also require SAT IIs even if you submit the ACT, and when you submit your score report, your SATs are sent too.</p>
