A fairly common question I receive is whether you need to submit both the SAT and ACT to a particular college. The quick answer is that you only need to submit the SAT or the ACT but not both.
In the past I had addressed the question of whether a student needed to take both tests and again the answer was no. If you have already taken both the SAT and ACT and are trying to decide which test to send to the colleges, check out this earlier post comparing the scores from the SAT and ACT.

If both scores are good and equal, there’s no harm in submitting them both.

Jason,
You are absolutely right. If both tests are submitted the college will use the highest score of the tests submitted. Thanks for mentioning this point.
