New here, and prepping.

<p>Ok well I am preparing for the SAT that I take in June 1. Well How can I balance prepping for SAT I and ACT.</p>

<p>I guess If I just do regular prepping for Critical reading,writing, and math on SAT I, I would do fine for ACT? but rather do some prep for science?</p>

<p>Thanks I want a 35-36</p>

<p>You don't need any specific science prep. They're not really testing your science knowledge. Just get some overall prep books and do full practice tests, timed. Timing is the key.</p>

<p>you just need to practice. you can use the same strategies from the SAT on the ACT. the science is all about timing and practice! you need to learn how to quickly disregard extra information that isnt needed. </p>

<p>dont automatically say "i wnat a 35-36". the odds of that happening are very slim. try to see what possible colleges you want to apply to and their ACT range. try to score within that range. you can still get in with the lower median score. to be solid and competitive for schools, a 29+ will suffice, and a 30 will be golden. just aim to do your best and see how the scores pan out. remember, doing well doesnt happen overnight. in order to improve 4 total composite points on my ACTs, i studied like mad for over 10 weeks. there are no magic pills or shortcuts to doing well. believe me.</p>

<p>it is possible to get a 35/36 your first time, if you're smart just take a few practice tests.. i dont really see how you can prep for the ACT much besides timing and if you need to study math concepts. got a 36 first time just with 3 practice tests split up over a week (timed) and learning trig from sparknotes act prep since i haven't learned it in precalc yet.</p>
