i apparently get low scores on the act. i found out about the new sat and i was wondering how hard is it? has anyone taken a practice test???
Why don’t you take a practice one and find out? There are 4 official practice tests online for the new SAT. Make sure to strictly time yourself with no interruptions- just like the real thing.
I got a 30 on the Real ACT but a 1240 on the New SAT(practice test) . The new SAT is definitely easier, but that means the standard is going to go up. They haven’t come out with the comparison table, but I assume that you are going to you are going to have to get ALOT of questions right on the New SAT to get a good score
@yellowjeans i get 21s sometimes and 18s.
People say that the new SAT is “easier”, but that doesn’t really matter, since scores are based on relative performance. I suggest you take an SAT practice test, and see how your SAT percentile compares to your ACT percentile.
My highest ACT score is 31 and I recently got a 1400 on the PSAT. I would say that the new SAT is similar to the ACT but with more time.
I think it depends on how well you do on the science section. Some people find it their toughest section to improve, even people who are good at science classes. There doesn’t seem to be a large correlation between science score on the ACT and science aptitude, but it accounts for some of the biggest differences in score between SAT and ACT.
