UC Self-Reported Scores

Applying to College
1

<p>I had taken the ACTs back in September of my junior year, and suffice it to say, I didn't do too well. However, I had sent my scores to UC Merced, to which I'm not applying. I checked what test scores were reported to the UC System, however, and apparently they have my ACT scores.</p>

<p>I also took the SATI, and I submitted those scores on the self-reported test scores portion of the application. Those scores were also sent to every UC I'm applying to. However, since the UC system has records from my ACTs, should I self-report those too? Would it be dishonest if I didn't? And if I were to report those scores, would I have to send them to all of the different UCs I'm applying to?</p>

<p>The UCs only want and need your highest score from a single sitting. So, if you take both the ACT and SAT, just report which one is highest. Think about it another way, even if you take the SAT multiple times, there is only space on the app for one SAT score, so that's all you report.</p>
