<p>I really would recommend the ACT.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore, but I got a 179 on the PSATs. Not at ALL what I am capable of doing and not a good representation of my grades or abilities. Today, I took a practice test for the first time without doing any sort of prep and got a 31 which is 2060.</p>
<p>Maybe it is just an easier test, but the ACT is a curriculum based test. It doesn’t test any odd words nor does it attempt to trip you up with awkwardly phrased questions. I will be taking the official ACT in February and I am aiming for a 34, which I know I can do. (its for a summer program, don’t worry) </p>
<p>I bet you could to! Try it out.</p>
<p>P.S: The science part is actually the most difficult for me, and I am a science person. Just a heads up. The other thing that isn’t that great about the ACT is the time, especially in reading and science. (although I finished the math section with 32 minutes left … )</p>
