low SATs, high ACTs

<p>hey guys, i scored 1100 on the SAT.. did it happen to you or any friends where they scored low SATs and ended up scoring high on the ACT? thanks and please post the scores</p>

<p>i think i was the only one of my friends who took both...my scores were pretty much the same:
SAT: 1230
ACT: 28 (i liked how we had to answer every question :o)</p>

<p>well initially this was my problem, i had a 1260 and a 31 ACT. then i retook the SAT and gota 1460 somehow.. i'm just thinkin the 1260 was a bad day.</p>

<p>was it due to extra studying or what? more people please post and help me out!! thanks!</p>

<p>I know lots of students who scored significantly higher on the ACT. One student got a 1350 on the SAT and a 35! on the ACT.</p>

<p>I don't personally know anyone who scored significantly lower on the ACT than the SAT. I always recommend taking the ACT as well as the SAT to hedge your bets. They are pretty significantly different tests. I personally think of the SAT as a tricky test, while the ACT is more like the material you learn in school (it's tough and long, but more straight forward).</p>
