ACT ... or just SAT?

<p>So, I am a rising senior.
Taken the SAT twice, taking again in october
got a 630-cr, 660-writing, 800-math (1430,2090)</p>

<p>I took the ACT once, without really studying it much and got a 28</p>

<p>so my question is, is it worth it to take the ACT again, and take away from the time I would be studying for the SAT? I mean if I get say a 32 on the ACT, isn't that just like a 2100?
Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I would think it depends on where you want to go. If you're looking at a state school, then you're probably set, except for possibly the CR score, but if you're looking at stanford, then you want to retake that SAT. </p>

<p>Btw, forget those conversion charts. They mean absolutely nothing. Seriously, a 2100 or 2150 is about average for schools like Stanford and Columbia right? Well guess what? My ACT of 30, which is fully obtainable by you since I only got a 19 something on my SAT, is AVERAGE! So if you're looking at the ACT, I highly recommend it.</p>

<p>Here's what to AIM for:</p>

<p>If you're aiming for very selective (examples: Michigan, USC range), 30 seems to be the magic number.</p>

<p>If you're aiming for super competitive (duke, etc.) 32 is the magic number, although even a 30 is still within range, albeit at the low end.</p>

<p>good luck (unless you're applying to michigan...then I hope you fail so I can get in lol)!</p>
