SAT vs ACT

<p>hi im an rising senior and people are tellin me to take the act becuase my sat score is low. i got a 1610 which is really low. do u think taking act will give me a better score ? should i give a try at it ? if so how should i study act? if so is there act in september ? because there is sat in october that im taking and i dont want to overlap it</p>

<p>You should definitely give ACT a try.</p>

<p>“should i give a try at it ?”</p>

<p>Yes, you should try taking the ACT in the fall; many people find that they do much better on the ACT than the SAT.</p>

<p>“if so is there act in september ?”</p>

<p>Yes, the next ACT test date is September 11. You can register for it at <a href=“http://www.actstudent.org%5B/url%5D”>www.actstudent.org</a> </p>

<p>“if so how should i study act?”</p>

<p>I suggest that you buy the Princeton Review’s Cracking the ACT and thoroughly review the English and Math section. You should also buy the Real ACT and use these practice tests under normal testing conditions (45 minutes for English, 60 minutes for Math, 35 minutes for Reading, and 35 minutes for Science). After each test, make sure to go over each question that you missed and why you missed it to avoid making the same mistakes on test day. Good luck :)</p>
