ACT vs SAT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>hey guys.
i took the sat last january
and i'm planning to take the acts as well
i scored a 29 on my first practice test vs the SATs which i scored a 2050
i noticed the math and science sections were relatively easy and i scored a 35 and 33 respectively on them but for the reading i scored a 29,
so with that being said that leaves my english which was a 20.....
however for the SAT writing I recieved a 700, which is a major difference.</p>

<p>so my question is how do i prepare for the english section when it is so different from the writing section on the SATs?</p>

<p>also, is there a possbility to raise my score to a 33 in just a matter of 2 months?</p>

<p>How do you improve your English section score? Get some prep material and start working through it. When you miss a question, find out <em>why</em> you missed it.</p>

<p>Is it possible to raise your score to 33 in 2 months? Sure, it's possible. Is it realistic? I'd say so, provided you study hard and smart over the next several weeks. </p>

<p>Hit the books!</p>

<p>When I started English, mine was fairly low too (by CC standards anyways) .. with a 25. If you just practice tests over and over, you will improve, as the questions are very very similar!! My scores went like 25 27 29 31 33 34 and then I got a 35 on the real thing, so there's hope... all you have to do is practice!
so ... yes it's possible, especially with your other scores indicating you're very intelligent.</p>

<p>Edit: Grammar :)</p>

<p>I did MUCH better on the ACT.</p>

<p>I got a 1670 on the SAT, and the 28 on the ACT, which is equivalent to an 1850 SAT.</p>

<p>ACT ftw.</p>

<p>ACT for life</p>

<p>ACT are for more well-rounded people whereas SAT is 2/3's english-related stuff</p>

<p>honestly though, invest in a tutor or a class, like a professional one. kinda expensive but youd be surprise how much it helps</p>

<p>friend went from 29 to 35</p>
