To anyone who took the new SAT and ACT, would you recommend taking both? I have taken the ACT already, and did pretty okay considering I had no prep. I will be taking it a third time in June, and I am currently in my Junior year. I’m better at reading and writing than math and science looking at my scores from my ACT, but I’m not really sure if it would be worth it. In the new PSAT I got a 1330, so I thought the new SAT would be good for me to take, but I’m not sure how much the PSAT and the SAT compare.
i took the psat and got 1420 and on the sat i got 1300. I honestly don’t know how i dropped so low from the psat when the sat supposed to be higher than the psat. I took the sat during the first date. Personally for me, even though science isnt my best subject, the act is easier now. I got a 32 on the act on my first try
I think that you never know what your good at till you put yourself in the testing environment for both. I personally thought I was an SAT kind of guy, but ended up with a much better score on the ACT after taking it with no prep for the hell of it.
I recommend taking both and seeing which you feel more confident with and going with that one.
I took the ACT and did much better on it than the new SAT. To me the format of the SAT felt really easy so maybe they grade the test harder. Take both and see which one you do better on and then stick with one test. It might be easier to study for the ACT because study materials for the new SAT i
