My Chances

<p>The math section on the SAT is more about tricking you into getting it wrong, but the concepts are easy</p>

<p>The math on the ACT is straight forward, but higher level (though still not that high... there are a few trig problems though, and some of the geometry can be hard)</p>

<p>yeah i took the ACTs got a 30
i am planning to take them again in the fall</p>

<p>is it a good idea?
i do have 35 in math,
29, 29, 28 in science, english and reading</p>

<p>should i take it again?
i am definitely going into engineering</p>

<p>quick <em>off topic</em> question</p>

<p>are indians( from india) considered minorities?</p>

<p>No they are not.</p>

<p>I would retake. I got a 36 on the science section the first time through, but a 29 on the reading. My other 2 sections were solid enough for me (32 math 32 english). I got a review book to use over the summer to learn strategies to help me improve my score and took the October test. I ended up with a 32 on the reading and a 34 on the english (unfortunately, I got a 35 on the science, so my composite this time was a 33 as opposed to a 34, which I would have had with a 36 in science... but that doesn't matter to me anymore because I got in to Duke with my 33 :))</p>

<p>did you send in your SAT scores?</p>

<p>yeah... they weren't as good... 1370 in October, up from 1360 in March :)</p>

<p>Indians are a minority - just not an underrepresented minority.</p>

<p>And definately study for it and retake it. English is easy to bring up if you learn some tricks (i.e. usually the shortest answer is the right one)</p>

<p>hahahhah i cant believe there are still people on CC who dont know that indians are severely DISADVANTAGED by AA.</p>

<p>should i send in my sat scores?
760 math 600 Cr, 610 writing ( retaking in june)</p>

<p>or my act 30?
with 35 math and going into engineering?</p>

<p>there's no reason not to send both</p>
