Hi,
I took the SAT (second time) in September and didn’t know how well I would do on it, so I signed up to take the ACT again (second time).
Since I was doing early action I had to send the ACT before I even took it.

The scores came out today and I did worse on the ACT the second time in all subscores except science, and I cannot cancel the scores.

Also all my colleges superscore the ACT.

Will colleges take notice that I dropped in all other subscores (except science) the second time I took it and use it against me and my chances or will they disregard it completely and just look at the highest scores of all of them?

Also, my SAT was significantly higher than my superscored ACT ( SAT is in the ballpark, but ACT is a little shy from what they are looking for).

Will they just look at the highest standardized test overall?

Thanks.
