<p>Some students take both tests and submit all scores. They do not necessarily perform at the same level on both. For example, D did great on the SAT, but not quite as strong on the ACT, but all scores were nonetheless submitted. She also only took the ACT once because her SAT scores were high enough that she didn’t worry about improving her ACT scores. Thus, while she was probably admitted on the strength of her SAT scores, the lower ACT ones were likely still reported. I bet that happens quite a bit.</p>
