Hi all,
I took the SAT once and ACT once, didn’t study for either of them, I know, pretty dumb.
My SAT score was only a 1410 (720 CRW, 690 M) but I found the ACT far easier after taking it on a whim last month–my ACT score was a 35 (Science 34, English 35, Math 36, Reading 36, and overall ELA 34, STEM 35).
On my SAT Essay, I got a perfect score of 8 8 8, but on ACT Essay, I only got a 10 (10 9 10 10), which I guess is what dropped my ELA to a 34.
I plan on going into International Relations, so obviously writing ability is important. Should I also submit my SAT for my better essay score, or should I only submit the ACT? I’m not really sure how much the essay will be considered or how much worse my SAT makes me look.
Thanks to those who respond.
