Barron's compared to Real ACT?

<p>I am a junior, and got a 2100+ on the SAT, but wanted to take the ACT as I am stronger in math, weak in reading areas. I used my sister's old official ACT guide from a few years back and got a 31. Then I recently got the Barron's book and got a 22, and I am definitely going for 32+. But that Barron's book really, REALLY made me question whether or not I should take it. I heard it's harder, but those two scores are a huge difference.</p>

<p>Go back and see what you missed. It might have been some stupid mistakes. If you really don’t know how to do some of the questions then maybe you should stick w/ the SAT. You did pretty well on that already.</p>

<p>I would suggest taking the practice test on ACTstudent’s website for a better estimate. Barron’s tends to underestimate scores. </p>

<p>And the nice thing is that if you do badly on the ACT, you could just choose not to report the score.</p>
