<p>Hi.</p>
<p>I am going to transfer from a community college to hopefully a selective university. These schools usually require those standardized scores.</p>
<p>Now, for specific argument lets use MIT as top goal. Now it needs either ACT or SAT with them SAT subject tests. I have taken all of these things with these scores here:</p>
<p>SAT: try # 1 (this be from high school) : Reading: 680 Writing: 680 Math: 760
try # 2 (this from recent) : Reading: 750 Writing: 680 Math: 710</p>
<p>ACT: (recent) : Reading: 33 Writing: 33 Math: 34 Science: 34 Essay: 8 Composite: 34</p>
<p>SAT subject (recent): Literature: 730 Math 2: 760 Physed: 800</p>
<p>Now, as you see my SAT scores r too low taken individually but if I combine them they are maybe just okay, and add to composite 2190. But you see 710 math and is recent and I do not want them to see that. They have said they only look at those highest ones but I think maybe not.</p>
<p>Also, my ACT is okay the composite number is better than my SAT total number I think but i do not know if they look at that. 34 math is low end of average I think for MIT specifically.</p>
<p>I took literature for to be diverse but I thought id to better. Also 760 math 2 isnt 800.</p>
<p>So now my question is, what is best to support? I could do just first SAT with subjects but this gives 680 reading. I could do both but then 710 math is bad esp for recently in a college. I could do the well rounded ACT but then do I do the subject tests with it? 800 physics is nice to show off to them maybe even if alot of people do an 800 on it. And they may also say why ACT with subjects? since it is not required.</p>
<p>I could do all 3 but then maybe they think i'm too much testing all the time without having a life? Now keep remembering I use MIT as most extreme example, I know my scores are low for to be there. Especially writing, which is consistently low from essays. Math is kind of erratic for scores based on practice tests.</p>
<p>Also are the schools you think looking for higher scores if taken recently (cause they are required so i had to at least take subject tests recent) or do they not be mattering as much from good college work?</p>
<p>edit: <em>which scores should I submit</em> Also, thanks.</p>
