Should I take the ACT? Or is my SAT score good enough (typical thread but appreciate responses)

<p>CR: 680
M: 770
W: 790
Jan. SAT scores. Not terribly disappointed, but I'm definitely retaking for a 2300+. Should I take the ACT? I tried a little, and it seems IMPOSSIBLE (timing, science Qs, timing!) Would some high scorers give me some tips? I feel like I should give the ACT a shot, but I also feel like I'll fail miserably and get way below a 30. I'm a total noob to this test, someone please enlighten me with anything. Thanks much in advance</p>

<p>With that kind of SAT score I don’t think you need to, unless you are going for a specific scholarship that only takes the ACT otherwise you’re in good shape. </p>

<p>Your scores look good to me; if you truly want to take the ACT, have at it. Don’t be upset about the score on it though, your SAT is pretty good!</p>

<p>thanks for the advice guys</p>

<p>Similar situation, try some practice tests; SAT concepts can be easily applied to the ACT.</p>

<p>It seems you are doing well in SAT. The only area you need improvement is CR. If you do get 2300+ in SAT, there is no point to try ACT. Also, there will be a science section in ACT that requires some sort of CR skill too. Nevertheless, if you have already prepared for ACT and got 34+ in practice scores consistently, you may give it a try. If you have not started preparing for ACT or your practice score is below 34, it seems you will have a better chance with SAT1. The only consideration is ACT may waive the requirement of SAT2 for some schools.</p>
