<p>I have a 1720 SAT :-( ...And a 3.7 uw GPA 4.2 W. What schools can i get into with this. My grades are good but my SAT :-( . Would the ACT be Better for me ....I need help.</p>
<p>yeah man, do the ACT
its very very different from the SAT
i think the ACT has more to do with your like school-academic merit and SAT just has to do with reasoning. thats what i thought</p>
<p>i'm like you too. didn't do too hot on the SAT but has high gpa </p>
<p>and i'm sure you can get in decent schools with good essays and extracurriculars</p>
<p>from what ive heard, the SAT is easier to master than the ACT. so i think you should take the SAT again... just study alot. if you are financially able to, i would recommend taking a class or getting a tutor. my strategy was:
stay home the day before the SAT. for like the entire week before the SAT, i was constantly studying and doing practice questions. this got me into the habit of doing the SAT. this way, on testing day, i wasnt overwhelmed by the test. i was soo nervous, but i ended up doing okay with a 1980. i didnt study ALOT, i only did 2 practice tests. but i kept the test on my mind and got a good nights sleep 2 nights before (the night before the SAT i hardly slept at all...too nervous) and i ate a good breakfast. and had some red bull to stay awake =)</p>
<p>lol.. in conclusion...study, and try the SAT again. you can take the ACT too but i wouldnt give up on the SAT just yet.</p>
<p>SAT easier than ACT.</p>
<p>it is?....ok ill take the ACT in Sept. and the SAT in Oct</p>
<p>if that'll solve your problem, okay.</p>
