Recommend taking ACTs if screwed up SAT Math?

<p>I have a grave feeling that I screwed up in SAT Math this past october test.. and I doubt that bodes well for Yale SCEA chances at all. Would you recommend taking the ACTs JUST for Math? Like, in preparation, because I have never prepared for it, just focus on Math, and just let the other scores come as they are.</p>

<p>Also, the question is a bit more tricky because I am just in precalculus Honors right now. We just finished covering the trigonometric functions. (I am more of a Humanities person too..)</p>

<p>I am assuming an acceptable ACT score for Yale is around 30-36?</p>

<p>? SAT MATH does not equal ACT MATH, which means it will not be superscored along with your other SAT results... I think you're misguided...</p>

<p>superscored? Not sure what you mean. I dont want colleges to think I am incompetent in math..:0</p>

<p>ACT math is way easier than SAT, even though SAT math is 10th grade level.</p>

<p>I recommend trying the ACT, but don't just focus on math. A good math score isn't going to do you any good if you bomb, say, science. </p>

<p>Take a practice test and see how you do. There's a free one here: <a href="http://www.act.org/aap/resources.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.act.org/aap/resources.html&lt;/a>

<p>^i agree also a good act math for yale scea would definitely be 35-36</p>

<p>Umm, are you sure? 35-36 is like 2300-2400. While that is great for Yale... I don't think its the only acceptable range. If I am not mistaken 2200+ is pretty good shape for Yale, or most top schools, what would be the conversion for ACT? I might be mistaken though.</p>

<p>oh no sorry i meant 35-36 on the math section not the composite score. i'd say a 32+ composite would put you in pretty good shape.</p>
