Send SAT with lower 2nd sitting? Or only send ACT?

SAT 1st sitting: 2290
CR 700
M 790
W 800 (essay 11)

SAT 2nd sitting: 2240
CR 720
M 740
W 780 (essay 9)

SAT Superscore: 2310

ACT 1st (only) sitting: 34.25 -> Composite 34
E 35
M 34
R 33
S 35
W not out yet


!
- SO... Should I send all of my SAT scores to colleges that superscore? For a superscore only 20 pts higher than my 1st sitting? Even though my 2nd sitting was 50 pts lower?

- OR should I only send my 1st sitting of the SAT and my ACT? (2290, 34)

- OR should I just send my ACT score only?

(I will be sending my ACT score no matter what)

You may be overthinking this "decision".

Send them all. A SAT superscore of 2300+ is exceptional.

There is a natural variance in scores for tests taken multiple times. "50" points is well within this variance

You should send them all your test scores. Each school may compare SAT / ACT differently.

BTW, 34 of ACT is comparable 2260 of SAT.
