Which Scores to Send?

Test Preparation
1

Hi everyone,

I have a 36 ACT (35, 36, 36, 35, 10 writing) and a 1580 SAT (780, 800, 20 writing). I was wondering if y’all can give me some advice on whether I should just send my ACT or send both scores to colleges.

Thanks.

You can send both or either and not really be harmed in any way, except sending both requires payment for two orders. If you send both, the college will just choose the one it believes is better for you. Note, if applying to Georgetown, you are required to provide both; it is the only collge in the nation that currently requires both all SATs and all ACTs. Also,in deciding, you should check scholarshios that the college has since it may have some that are attached to particular test scores, such as the National Merit Scholarship is attached to the PSAT and SAT.

If you can afford it, I would send both. It confirms one test wasn’t a fluke.
