Hi,
As an introduction, I’m a junior who recently took the January SAT (750 CR, 750 W, 720 M). I’m concerned about my math score, since I plan on going into engineering. I’m going to take the SAT 2 math 2 and hopefully get an 800. My grade in math has always been high (100 in ap calc bc right now), but sat math trips me up. Should I take the ACT or new sat and raise my scores a bit?
Take both. Honestly though, studying for one test will help immensely with studying for the other. I studied a whole bunch for the SAT, got an okay score, and then took the ACT with barely studying and got a 35. You really don’t need to study each in depth. Plus, you never know which one you are better at.
If you are into science and graph reading the ACT may be better for you. The math on the ACT is more rushed than on the SAT but not as tricky and confusing.
