<p>Here's the deal. I got a 1390/2190 on my SAT. But I got a 34 on my ACT.</p>
<p>Do I still have to put my SAT scores on my Common App if I'm not sending it to anyone?</p>
<p>Nope.</p>

<p>But some schools ask for “all my scores”.</p>
<p>By “all my scores” they mean all the scores from one test. Like if you got a 32 once, and then got a 34, you’d have to send both. But most schools require the SAT or the ACT. So you’re fine sending one type of test.</p>
<p>So since I only took the ACT once, I’m fine with just putting that and two subject tests?</p>
<p>If you send subject tests, I think you have to send SAT I too. Unless I’m mistaken, they’re all on the same SAT score report. Only exception is if you purchase score choice.</p>
<p>They are on different reports - I took them on different dates.</p>
<p>Nope.
it’s SAT I & 2 SAT II’s ORRRRR the ACT. But if you send want to send the ACT, you can send as many SAT II’s as your want.</p>
<p>That all depends on the schools you’re applying to. Each one has different policies. Look at the school’s website.</p>
<p>The score report includes all scores from all testing dates.</p>
<p>So it’s not possible for colleges to get my ACT + 2 SAT IIs but not my SAT I?</p>
<p>Nope, the College Board will send your entire SAT profile that has every score you’ve received on it. You can use Score Choice but in my opinion, it seems to be generally frowned upon.</p>
<p>Alright. Will colleges ignore my 2190 and look at my 34 instead?</p>
<p>Most likely. Besides, a 2190 is hardly a score to be ashamed of so it won’t hurt you. I see it kind of like you score a 2190 and re-take the SAT for a 2250 (or whatever the SAT equivalent of a 34 is). The college would use the 2250 for admissions and the 2190 gets a cursory glance. The difference between your scores isn’t stark enough to raised red flags. Both prove you’re capable.</p>
<p>Even if I am looking at top schools (Columbia, Brown, etc)?</p>
<p>You can use score choice for Brown. If you only want Columbia to see your SAT IIs, you can use score choice to hide the SAT I score. It’s not breaking any rule, and no, it’s not frowned upon. It definitely can’t be frowned upon since colleges can’t even know about it. Once again, look at each school’s policy. If you’re applying to Yale, for example, you’re required to show your SAT I too if you want to send in SAT IIs. People are giving you a lot of wrong information right now, to be honest.</p>
<p>Thank you so much HelpWithSchools for asking this! I’ve been trying to find the answer for a while now…
So I’m kind of the opposite, I got a 2280 on my SAT but I’m trying ACT. If my ACT score is low, I don’t have to report it on commonapp, or send it to any schools?</p>
<p>I’m confused with this too. I have a 34 ACT and a 2210 SAT. I also have good subject test scores I want to send. Am I allowed to report just the ACT and Subject test scores on the common app, and then just send a score report of my SAT I to schools that require all? (Like Yale)</p>
<p>^ Same question here.</p>
<p>runi - No, you do not have to report or send your ACT score if it is less than satisfactory. Unless a school specifically asks for all scores, sending your SATs only will be fine.</p>
<p>EastOfEden and HelpWithSchools - I don’t know who nne718 is referring to when he says wrong information, but I do not think anything I’ve said has been incorrect. The SAT I and SAT II go together - you can’t send one without the other. Collegeboard sends all previous scores from all previous test dates when they send a score report. That is why many students worry about taking the test too many times - each test WILL show up on the report. That is also why most people wait to send their SAT I if they plan on taking the SAT II later on - because the latest score report will not only include their SAT II scores but also their SAT I score. Sometimes it’s convenient to have both of them together, other times it’s a hassle (as in your case). But together they are. They only way to exclude your SAT I score on the score report, as I said earlier, is if you purchase Score Choice from Collegeboard. If you don’t want to send all scores, just report the ones you are sending on the common app. Some schools do not allow this (those that ask for all scores) but as nne718 said, if you use Score Choice- the college has no way of finding out. Is it unethical? Maybe.</p>
