<p>If a person does well on the SAT, does that mean they're likely to do comparably well on the ACT (assuming 1 test isn't a huge weakness for them).</p>
<p>No, not necessarily.</p>
<p>I know this one kid who got a 35 on the ACT and then something like 1300 /2400 on the SAT.</p>
<p>no...i did alright for SATs (mine was out of 1600 then) but i did horrible when it came to the ACT due to timing constraints.</p>
<p>sorry, i didn't know my mom was logged into the account..but what i typed in is true though</p>
<p>..... i did better on ACT.... 2070 first time I took SAT --> 35 first and last time I took ACT.</p>
<p>I think there should be a correlation between your SAT scores and your ACT scores. I just took the SAT test today and I think I did alright. Nothing stellar, mind you, but well enough. I got a 30 on my ACT on the february testing. I didn't review for either test. :S I guess I should have.</p>
<p>I did find that I had more spare time on the SATs. I almost always ran out of time in the ACT or barely finish on time. I'll find out soon how I did on the SATs.</p>
<p>There is an average correlation between scores (see the conversion chart, which is based on people who took both tests). But for any particular individual, s/he may do better on the ACT or SAT. The ACT seems to have time constraints, while the SAT has trickier questions. It used to be that there was more of a difference in the area of questions. But with the substantive changes in the SAT in 2005, the tests got more similar. The major substantive difference now is the science reasoning section, I think.</p>
<p>SAT is generally prepared for while most people tend to take teh ACT cold turkey which often results in less than satisfactory scores even though the ACT is easier to score high on.</p>
<p>In that case, I better prep for it anywayz.</p>
