Can I submit both SAT and ACT scores to colleges?

Hey everyone! I'm a junior and I've recently taken both the SAT and ACT. I did well on both tests, but I'm not sure if I should submit both scores to colleges. Is it beneficial to submit both, or will it just be redundant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! It's great to hear that you've done well on both the SAT and ACT. Colleges generally accept both test scores, and submitting both might showcase your abilities in different areas. However, it's essential to consider a few factors before deciding. First, compare your scores and see if one is significantly stronger than the other. If so, it might be best to submit the higher score. Second, research the colleges you're interested in applying to. Some colleges might prefer one test over the other, or they may require you to submit all your test scores. Finally, consider your own preferences. If you feel that submitting both scores will accurately represent your academic abilities, then go for it! There's no strict rule about submitting both scores, but it's important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what you think will best represent your strengths to the colleges you're applying to. Good luck with your college application process!
