Hi everyone. I’ve taken the SAT twice, and I plan to take the ACT this fall. I most likely will not take the SAT again.
The first time I took the SAT, I got a 2100 (640 CR, 750 M, 710 W). The second time I took it, I got a 2030 (610 CR, 800 M, 620 W). Now, it may seem obvious that I should send in the higher composite score, but I’m wondering whether the 800 in math makes the 2030 slightly more impressive than the 2100. I’ve heard that colleges don’t really care about the writing section, and by that standard, it’s basically a 1390 vs. a 1410. Also, I do much worse on the ACT math section, so I probably will not get a perfect math score on the ACT.
I’m planning on majoring in computer science, if that matters. Any opinions/advice? Thanks
Uhhhh you know what superscoring is right? You send both and they only take your highest scores, a lot of colleges do it (like 80%).
Too most colleges in the tier you’re aiming for superscore. Here is the list of colleges that don’t:
