SAT or ACT?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>I've been practicing for the ACT for months and I've been scoring consistent 33s-34s. However, in the real testing situation, I always seem to have a panic attack - which just happened during the December ACT on the reading section. I know I already got 6 wrong, which is a real let-down considering I got a 36 two weeks before in a timed practice test... I've been practicing SO much for it, with tutoring and at home, more than most people do lol. I'd honestly be happy to get a 31 on this test. </p>

<p>However, I took the SAT with no practice and got a 2020 (600M, 640R, 780R). Then, I took my PSAT a week later and got a 219 (77R, 65M, 77W). </p>

<p>So my question is, which test should I focus on? Time is running out for me to decide. Should I just go with the SAT (2020 with no practice) or ACT (31 with practice but higher scores on practice tests)? Thank you so much!! I just can't wait for tuesday night ah</p>

<p>Also: do you have experience with anything like this? Thanks!!</p>

<p>I say, ACT.
It is easier to increase your ACT score than to increase your SAT score.</p>

<p>It depends on where you are going to college. Midwest, east coast, west coast? I would suggest if you dont know at all just take both and you can go from there.</p>

<p>Geographical location does not matter anymore. Show me some schools on the east coast that don’t accept the ACT as an equivalent to the SAT anymore. More kids took the ACT than SAT last year. Take the ACT if you can test fast, take the SAT if you can’t.</p>

<p>Such BS it’s by far easier to increase an SAT score. Once you get to the 30s for the ACT, knowledge doesn’t even matter.</p>

<p>@SuperbBast: Too bad he did NOT ask if it is easier to increase an SAT or ACT score…his question WAS which test should he focus on. I believe it’s the ACT no question.</p>
