I got my sat score today for the May 2016 SAT. I got an 1120 and I honestly am so disappointed with the score. I’m not sure how I did on the June 2016 SAT, and I’m honestly considering just taking ACT instead. What should I do ?
Did you study and take practice tests or did you take it without advance preparation? If you prepared thoroughly, was your result very different from what you expected based on practice tests?
It’s so much easier to bring your SAT scores from the 1000s to 1400 than to bring a 1400 to 1600. I think that it would be easier to just focus on the SAT and try and bring it up before moving on to ACTs.
I was aiming for atleast a 1200 my first try
and according to the concordance tables the 1120 on the new SAT translates to a 1040 on the old SAT!!! When you ask colleges what they would like for SAT averages, they tell you they don’t know because “we are only beginning to get score reports so we don’t know yet”. Well according to the Concordance Tables, they do know. They just aren’t telling.
It actually equals around 1650-1700
Wait until you get your June results. If you hadn’t studied and didn’t do well, study in the fall and retake. If you have been studying a lot and did many practice tests, try the ACT.
