<p>I'm applying to Colby RD, but I am conflicted as to which test scores to send, ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>ACT... (second time)
Composite: 29
English: 33
Math: 30
Reading: 30
Science: 21 (23 the first time I took it, and yes, it's hilarious)</p>

<p>SAT... (second time)
1950
Writing: 700
Critical Reading: 640
Math: 610</p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Colby superscores the ACT and SAT. What were your scores the first time around on each?</p>

<p>The only one that would need superscoring is my science score on the ACT, because I got a 23 on science the first time, but a 21 the second time. All of my other scores went up by 2-3 points each the second time I took it. (I calculated my composite with the 23 and it doesn’t boost it)</p>

<p>For my SAT, my math and critical reading went up, and writing stayed the same, so that one doesn’t need to be superscored; If I send my SAT I’ll send the second one.</p>

<p>My question is though, should I send my ACT over my SAT?</p>

<p>Yes, I think I would send the ACT instead. Your 29 equates to a 1300/1600, whereas your actual SAT total for CR and M is 1250. So the ACT is better. Also, your math score on the ACT is much better. </p>

<p>I would send the scores from both dates and let them use the higher science on the first test to superscore.</p>

<p>What did you get on the highest combined English/Writing score (assuming you took it with Writing?)</p>
