<p>For the SAT i got a 2070 and i took a practice ACT and got a 29 without studying so I am sure i can get at least a 31 on the ACT, so my question is would a 31 be better than a 2070?</p>
<p>no...(31/36)=(x/2400) so x=~2067</p>
<p>2067<2070</p>
<p>It's not just a ratio. Looking at the % ratios, you see a difference. Some schools weigh it less, with a 30 on Math being a 600. However, my 30 on Math like the 95th percentile, which is obviously not a 600. Also, I think some schools don't just look at the composite, but the individual scores. I got a 34 on Reading, 30 in Math, and 31 in English, and because Science isn't on the SAT, I feel like alot might factor it out. Thus, my score was pretty good if you converted it to an SAT score like that, but not as good is they used the composite, which was 30 (damn 26 on Science). The ACT is weird, my 26 on Science was still the 90th percentile.</p>
<p>No. It is not.</p>
<p>If it isn't as good then why does yale report the average ACT to be about low 30's yet, for SAT they say mid 700 in each section?</p>
<p>Oh hell yeah it's better. ACT is so much less annoying than the SAT.</p>
<p>i dont understand why everyone prefers the ACT to the SAT. I havent gotten my ACT score back yet, but I can certainly say I did better on my SAT...and you dont run out of time on the SAT! eh just my opinion i guess</p>

<p>Well, usually the only people who try ACT are those who are smart but are bad at the SAT, so they do better on the ACT. We don't see as many people who are good at the SAT but bad at the ACT because most people who do well on the SAT don't bother to take the ACT. At least thats how I've seen it.</p>
<p>this one's better it makes my sat score a 32.25 instead of about a 32.93</p>

<p>geez cc has had its effect on me lol</p>
<p>I agree with ray, ACTs really are a lot less annoying....even though it's a LOT of MC in a short amount of time, you whiz through them a lot easier than the SATs. What's more, in the ACTs you aren't penalized for guessing.</p>
<p>I did the ACT and I got 2330 on the SAT. ACT is just better, IMO. The essay, for one, is hell of a lot more interesting. Actually gives you something to argue for/against instead of the stupid SAT essay questions.</p>
