<p>I am almost at the 2000 mark for the SAT, took it 2 times already.
I am pretty confident I can get a 2100 on the October test after studying for it during the summer.
But should I try a practice test for the ACT? I am too lazy for that and even if I do better (which I don't think I will) than the SAT, I don't have time to study both since I already have set materials for the SAT. </p>
<p>For me, the ACT was much easier. But if you are lazy…
Just take an ACT practice test. It won’t kill you.</p>
<p>Right lol. </p>
<p>I didn’t study for either ever.
I got a 2020 on the January SAT.
I got a 35 on the June ACT (which I was going to cancel because I went to a concert the night before and got 3 hours of sleep - thank god I forgot to :p)</p>
<p>I say the ACT is definitely worth a shot. I never have to take the ACT/SAT ever again.</p>
<p>Oooooo.
Do I take the practice test with writing or not?</p>
<p>Guys I have taken the SAT twice. Highest Score was a 1930. I feel as though i can definitely get 2100 if i study the rest of the summer for it. But, I don’t know whether or not to study for the ACT this summer and try that. My friends said that i am more oriented for the ACT. To add to my question, I have a 4.41 Cumulative GPA and some of my other friends i don’t need to take any. I am really confused. Any Suggestions?</p>
<p>I would highly recommend you take both, you never know. I got a 2270 on the SAT on my second try and, despite the fact that I am supposedly also an ACT-oriented person, I did much worse on the ACT (31, which equates to an SAT score of 2040, which I got my first time). A lot of people think the ACT is easier, but I’m with the minority who thinks the SAT is infinitely easier. It’s so much of a “personal” thing that I highly suggest taking both, haha.</p>
<p>I got a 29 on the diagnostic ACT test. should i pursue the ACT instead of the SAT this summer? Will colleges take your highest score between the two or do they favor one test over the other?</p>
<p>I think most colleges pick the higher one.
Pick the one you think will improve faster in time.
Should I take an ACT practice test with writing too?
And should I study an hour for it or go in cold? </p>
<p>No, it’s not necessary to do the essay on a practice test, since it doesn’t directly affect your composite score.
If you’re willing to study for it first, go for it, can’t hurt!</p>
<p>Well I am DEFINITELY not studying for it if I score under 25 I think, because I already have the materials for SATs…but I don’t know. </p>
<p>Give a practice test a try and see what happens.</p>
<p>Okay. My goal for the SAT is 2200 at least, from a 1940 (superscore 1990). </p>
<p>Btw do I just print the whole test out and do it? </p>
<p>Sure, that would probably be your best option. Again, you don’t <em>need</em> to do the essay part if you’re just trying to see where you’re at, so don’t bother printing that out and the essay paper.
I would suggest timing yourself on every section too, and going through it in one sitting.</p>
<p>Yeah 
I can’t staple it LOL</p>
<p>Weird question, so I am going to take a practice test for ACT and future SAT practice tests as well, do I just print them out and not staple them and take the test? It’s a bit weird since the pages are separated.</p>
<p>You don’t have to staple them-- I actually prefer printed tests to be unstapled, it makes it much easier for the reading sections.</p>
<p>Ok thank you. </p>
<p>I have a private question that I would like to ask about practice tests especially if you took a lot of them, can anyone help me with it? It’s really simple. </p>
