So last weekend i took a test containing half SAT and the other half ACT material at a good tutoring institution. The test was free and im not sure if im necessarily going to go there to improve(due to cost). However i scored a 20 on the ACT and a 1040 on the SAT(I know, horrific). So…since they both convert to be the same, meaning i did equally as well, which one should I study for. In my opinion the ACT math was easier even though i only scored a 22 on that portion, however on ACT i felt super rushed. Also, since i was only used to psat format the science portion threw me off pretty bad. Essentially i just want to get some opinions on which one i should pick. I realize both have their own pros and cons and are equally liked by colleges. However i still want to hear you guys out, the tutor who reviewed my score with me said i should probably go for ACT.
Hi! In my opinion, I would go with the SAT. Both the SAT and ACT have similar material, but when I took the tests I found the ACT to be a whole lot more rushed. Also, the ACT has a science section which can be confusing, whereas the SAT only has math reading and writing. It’s your decision in the end though.
