Have you tried an old released SAT to see if you can do better on it than on the ACT?

I have, I’ve taken practice tests and get the same score around 1200 usually, I think the highest I can get to is 1230. But because of the pandemic, I haven’t even been able to take it and don’t know how long it’ll last.
