Assuming schools don't superscore the ACT, which score to send?

I got a 33 again.
April: Composite: 33
English: 33
Math:34
Reading:36
Science: 29
Writing:10

September: composite: 33
english:33
math: 34
reading:30
science:35
writing: n/a yet but probably around a 10.

Which test do you guys think will be stronger for college? My reading and science scores pretty much just flip flopped. Since I'm probably going toward engineering, would my second score be better in admissions or would the 36 in reading from the April test make me stand out more?

Could you repeat that? The math scores are the same on both tests.

For UC, since they only accept one score, which would prove stronger? The writing score for my second test was a 9 making the combined english and writing score a 31. Since the majority of UCs I will be applying to are for engineering, I'm guessing the one with a 35 science is a bit stronger. For the top UCs however, since I'm going in undecided, would a perfect 36 in reading be stronger?

Engineering programs will care most about your math and science scores. Send the September scores.

I think you should send both, and allow them to choose the one they think is better.
