<p>So I am in a bit of a situation. I scored 2330 (750 CR 800 M 780 W) on the June 2011 ACT. BUT… I scored 2160 (560 CR 800 M 800 W) on the November 2010 ACT. The problem is the reliability of their “highest-score only” policy. The 800 on writing would definitely help me, giving me two perfect SAT sections, but would it be worth it showing them my 560 on Critical Reading?</p>

<p>If I’m not mistaken, admissions would just see your super-score of 750-800-800? If you’re troubled by it, though, send in the 2330, because 780-800 is largely considered the same score. The 560 is a terrible score and is not worth the extra 20 points for the 800 W. Most Ivy Leagues still look at the SAT score along the 1600 division (without the writing) - so that’s 1550 vs. 1360.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
