Should I bother with the ACT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey, I will be applying to some Ivys in january (Harvard, Princeton) and probably Duke ... My SAT as of now is 1450 (760m, 690v) [Im an URM, so i think I still have a chance with that SAT]</p>

<p>However, today i was talking to someone who scored a lot better on the ACT and today is the deadline so i gotta decide now if i wanna wing it (ive never studied/practiced an ACT, i did alot for the SAT)</p>

<p>But ... on the SAT I missed only 1 out of 40 Critical Reading questions and a buncha analogies/sentence completions (my vocab isnt good enough)</p>

<p>I have always thot of myself as strong in math/science and less so in english (mostly due to vocab)</p>

<p>So, could i possibly benefit from taking the ACT? and is the benefit worth it? I have to make this decision tonight :)</p>

<p>What do the Ivys think about ACTs?</p>

2

<p>Nein. Waste, time, energy etc.</p>

3

<p>Don't bother, your scores are decent enough</p>

4

<p>If you really want to see how you'd do, take an ACT practice test. I think yuor SAT score is fine already. :)</p>

5

<p>No. Take the SAT again.</p>

<p>im afraid to take the SAT again ... I improved 150pts and did better on both sections than I had ever done in a practice before so I dont wanna take my chances again and get another 1380 lol</p>
