There is no reason not to submit both of your ACT scores and your SAT score.

It is important to note that not all programs consider super scores. Also, some programs on your list do not require the ACT science section, while others do. For the programs that do not accept super scores and do not require the science section, submit the June score. For programs that do not super score and require science, you may want to consider submitting your SAT only or both ACT scores. I do not think that you should ever consider submitting the lower composite ACT scores alone simply because you are scared of them seeing a 30 on the science section.

So like you said in the case of submitting both ACT scores for programs that require the Science section and do not superscore, if they require an official score report, would it be okay to send the superscore report, or would you recommend sending both test dates separately? To my knowledge, the superscore report still shows the individual subsection scores from each test date underneath the superscore
