Is it possible to submit an ACT score instead of SAT score (or vice versa) if one is bad but the other is good?
I am a sophomore and am just curious about this #sat #act

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Collegeboard.org is a great resource for this! I poured through the pages of universities all over the U.S. when I was a senior in high school. Collegeboard was my go-to site! They put all of the information in one place and it is very easy to use. They even have various filters you can apply to see only colleges that have programs you are interested. To determine academic rigor, look at the admissions requirements, G.P.A. of past admitted applicants, SAT/ACT scores, class rank etc. This will give you an idea of what scores and grades you need to be accepted. However, don't be discouraged your application will be reviewed based on the full picture! College-board will help you get an idea of what is most important to the specific school you are applying to.</span>
This professional recommends the following next steps:
- <span style="background-color: transparent;">Chat with your Guidance Counselor</span>
- <span style="background-color: transparent;">Create a Collegeboard.org account</span>
- <span style="background-color: transparent;">Start using CollegeBoard as a resource to look up schools.</span>

Terrence,
That depends on the college/university that you decide to apply to, some require SAT scores, others are okay with an ACT score. You just have to check and see! CollegeBoard.org and Petersons.com can be helpful sites letting you know typical scores and tests that are accepted in applications.
