The ACT is better because it is slightly above what the average score is (about a 21). While the SAT score is slightly below (1500 is about average). A 22 is about a 1550 when changed between the two. Also, colleges will look at the highest score at one sitting, meaning if you got a 25 the next time, they will take the 25 over the 22. They will not look at the best subscores and exchange different test dates.

An ACT score of 22 corresponds to a 1560 on the SAT, so your ACT score is higher.
No, the ACT does not combine the highest scores in each category. Only one date’s worth of scores is reported in one score report. This is one major difference between the SAT and the ACT; the SAT’s score report includes all prior testing, and colleges typically use the highest score that they see in each section.
