Hey everyone! I’m a deferred EA applicant here. I retook the SATs and took the ACTs for my first time in December. I got my ACT writing score back today, and it’s not good. It’s a 24. I know that with the redesigned ACT Writing section the scores are much lower than expected, but I wanted to get a feel from the community about these scores. I only took the ACTs because I was interested to see if I could score better, so I’m not very clear about converting scores.

My ACT Composite is a 34, with a 35 English, 36 Math, 32 Reading, 33 Science, and 24 Writing.
My SATs on the other hand, are 650 CR, 780 M, and 800 W with a 10 essay.

If I did it right my ACT Composite comes out to be a 1510 CR+M converted SAT score, which is higher than my SAT CR+M of 1430. Is it worth sending both? Or, should I just send one of them?

Thank you all in advance. This community has helped me immensely.

My ACT scores are exactly the same as yours (except for writing) and my SAT scores are also very similar. I decided to just send my ACTs since they’re slightly higher and sending both wouldn’t reveal anything new. What were your subject test scores? Good luck!
