I’m a sophomore and don’t know which test to prepare for for next year.
I got a 1300 on the PSAT/NMSQT and a 29 on the PLAN ACT test.
Which should I focus on preparing for?
Thanks
Those are pretty similar scores so I’d just say take some more full-length sat and act practice tests and then decide which one you prefer. If you do worse on math, you might want to take the act because it’s only 1/4 of the composite score, and vice-versa.
29 PLAN is considerably better, as it’s out of 32, not 36.
Depends on how well you do on science and reading, I think. The biggest difference for me was that I wasn’t that good at vocab on the old test, so taking the ACT was the clear choice. Now though, I would reevaluate and see.
It all comes down to personal preference. Take a practice test for both exams (use a real test from the Blue Book for SAT and the Red Book for ACT) and see which one you do better on. From the information you’ve given, it seems that your 29/32 PLAN is the better score.
