ACT or SAT

<p>Hi everyone. So i just recently bought the Real ACT Prep Guide Red Book to study for a couple of months to take the ACT. </p>

<p>I have taken the SAT twice the first try i got an 1850 (M:750 CR:520 W:580) and second it dropped to 1750 (I would like to point out that i didn't study for them at all. I know that's stupid but i went in blindly into the first one just to get a feel of it). I know those scores are barely decent but not great by any standard.</p>

<p>I just recently returned from a camp where my roommate told me he actually got an 1850 also, although his breakdown was like 700;550;600 or something of that sort. He took the ACT at the end of last school year and he got a 32 which according to my research is 2160-2210 on the SAT converted. His strong point was math also and he had trouble on the reading and writing like me so he recommended the ACT to me. We both excel in math and science over english and SS at school and on tests.</p>

<p>I'm kind of stuck as College apps are due December 1st and taking the next SAT in October would mean getting results in mid to end November, which may cut it short. However the ACT is mid Sep so results would come early-to mid October which gives me extra time for last minute additions to apps and things of that nature. </p>

<p>What would you guys recommend? Practicing the SAT to bring that up? Or go ahead and practice the ACT as I'm stronger in math and science? What would i have a better shot at of getting a good score? Thanks and have a great day.</p>
