<p>April 2007: 33 composite; 34 Eng, 31 Math, 34 Reading, 32 Science (8 Essay)
Feb 2007: 33 composite; 33 Eng, 33 Math, 32 Reading, 33 Science (7 Essay)</p>

<p>Which one should I submit to colleges?</p>

<p>Why not submit both? Maybe you’ll get lucky with an application reader who mentally superscores you!</p>

<p>how did u get a 34 english and only a 8 essay. It’s very good, but i’m just curious. Were you not trying? How does one improve their essay and or their english section?</p>

4

<p>What is your intended major? If it is in a English type field, then I would submit the April one, if not then the Feb. one. Don’t bother sending both, save your money.</p>

5

<p>I’d send the April one, since there’s no real major difference between any particular section.</p>

<p>Easily… he’s good at grammar, not good at writing. For example, I know people who ace every single multiple choice question in SAT writing (basically ACT english) and get 6-7 on essay.</p>

<p>-I don’t think it has much to do with any of that. I got a similar score (35 english, 8 essay), and the main reason why I scored a lot lower on writing was because I just didn’t have enough time. I’m typically good at writing, but 25 minutes is not good enough for me to write an excellent, coherent essay. I can assume ohioguy is in the same position.</p>

<p>Essay on SAT and ACT do not measure one’s writing skills whatsoever. So please do not judge a person’s English skills by looking at ACT or SAT writing scores.</p>

<p>Yeah, I like how the ACT’s writing/reading sections don’t include the essay score. I got a 36 on reading but an 8 essay. Lawl.</p>

<p>I’d send the first one. Better essay and seems less bland, especially if you wanna seem like an english person. 33 is good anyways</p>

10

<p>The multiple choice scores look equivalent, so I’d send the April, with the higher writing score.</p>

<p>Another consideration: Colleges get to see your actual essay. Which one do you think was better?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help … it’s much appreciated.</p>
