Alexcuad, thatguy, and Honesto,

Here is Yale’s policy on reporting standardized test scores. The second paragraph, in particular, is worth reading carefully:

"Yale requires results from all of the SAT I and SAT II tests or all of the ACT tests you have taken. If you choose to fulfill our testing requirement with SAT scores, then it is not necessary to send any scores from the ACT, even if you have taken the ACT. And if you choose to fulfill the requirement using the ACT, you do not need to send us any SAT scores, unless you wish.

“However, and this is important, if you elect to use the SAT scores, you must report all scores from all SAT exams (both SAT I and SAT II) that you have taken. If you elect to use ACT scores, you must report all scores from all ACT exams you have taken. And if you choose to use a combination of SAT and ACT results, we require that you report all scores from both agencies.” [Instructions for Reporting Your Scores | Application to Yale College | Freshmen | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions)

By the way, the ACTs can be a very efficient way to go, and it still surprises me that they’re not as commonly chosen in some parts of the U.S. as the SATs.
