<p>Never have been.
Got a 510 on SAT Math section with no prep..</p>
<p>My question is should I try out the ACT and see if I score better?
OR just focus on the SAT..</p>
<p>I'm at a loss.
I need a 1100-1200 Math/CR for the SAT (got a 1040 in March).
Or a 23-25 composite ACT...</p>
<p>Which is more attainable?</p>
<p>Act…you can guess! :D</p>
<p>Have you taken pre-cal/trig yet? If not the ACT might not be best yet.</p>
<p>I’ve taken some Trig in Alg 1/11 & Geometry.
Thanks.</p>
<p>Still any input in helpful!</p>
<p>And thanks mathisfun111!</p>
<p>I’d give the ACT a try. It couldn’t hurt and you might find it to be a bit easier. Good luck!</p>
<p>You should certainly take the ACT to see how you do. The ACT is a more “straightforward” test, but it contains some more advanced material. Some people do better on this kind of test, others do better on the SAT.</p>
<p>You should also take the SAT again, but not without some preparation. If you go in cold, your score is not likely to improve very much (unless you had a particularly bad day the first time around). As a Math Professor, and math tutor I can only really speak for the math part of the SAT. Make sure you learn SAT specific strategies, and practice SAT Math problems 10 to 20 minutes a day. I can send you a few free chapters from my SAT Math strategy book if you send me a pm (that goes for anyone interested who is reading this message). Best of luck.</p>
