Which score helps you more

Send the higher one, but only if it beats the median.

If your ACT converts to an SAT above your target college's published 50th-percentile range, submit it. If both your real and converted scores fall below that median, apply test-optional where allowed — most selective colleges remain test-optional in 2026.
