Help! Which ACT to submit?

Hey. I've taken the ACT last year and once this year. I will be submitting an ACT score instead of the SAT. I received the same composite score for both tests, and I was wondering which ACT score I should submit.

June 2009:
English: 28
Math: 33
Reading: 27
Science: 30
Combined English/Writing: 26 (Essay 8)
Composite: 30

September 2009:
English: 27
Math: 32
Reading: 27
Science: 35
Combined English/Writing: 25 (Essay 7)
Composite: 30

Thanks in advance!

You could just send both and let them choose which one they like. Othwerwise, for many your first score will be considered a tad better because they believe the math and ERnglish scores are the more important ones.

Submit both, as many colleges are starting to accept superscoring, or at least consider the highest scores for applications. Also, your writing score is higher on the first test, even though it is not part of the composite, it is considered during the application process, and an 8 is much better than a 7...

Should I submit my SATII scores to the colleges that do not require SATIIs if I submit my ACT?
I got a 650 Bio E, 700 Math 1
Also, am I required to submit my AP scores to all the colleges even though I won't get credited for a 3 and 4?

If you can afford to send both I would.

If you are only sending one, I would send the result from the first sitting.

If you are willing to pay to send the SAT II's, I would. They are strong scores and in line with you ACT scores.

You do not have to pay to send your AP scores. As for self reporting, the usual answer it to report them. Colleges will see that you have taken AP classes and notice the lack of test score. They are likely to assume the worst and that the missing scores were a 1 or 2.
