<p>I know alot of colleges only look at SAT Math and CR, but I dont know which ones. This was the last SAT that I could take, and I've been trying to raise math. Which is what I did, but I guess I had taken the writing so many times that I didn't care anymore and it dropped from a 600 to a 450. There really is no excuse though... My math finally went up to a 750 this time. Reading stayed the same. I'm trying to go into engineering, and it has already been automatically sent to 4 schools. Do you guys think this will hurt me?</p>
<p>Hi Thesli! Maybe try and post in the SAT forum? Good luck!</p>
<p>Or take the ACT because it’s jokingly easier.</p>
<p>^How is it jokingly easier? The material itself or to get a decent score? I mean, is the population that takes the ACT over the SAT jokingly that much dumber?</p>
<p>The ACT is no doubt jokingly easier and everyone who takes it is obviously of lower IQ than SAT test-takers. Didn’t you read that study on uncyclopedia last year? I thought everyone knew.</p>
<p>link me. im curious.</p>
<p>Too late, the article has already been slain by the demi-gods; atleast there’s still a good introduction that sets the tone of the stage. You can infer the inferiority of the ACT from the tone of the writer’s striking prose.
</p>
<p>Hope this helps soldify the argument stated above.</p>
<p>I know plenty of smart people with 1700 SAT scores. They are not dumb because they have gone to place semi or finalists in multiple known scientific competitions like the siemens or Intel international science fair. These standardized test can never truly measure ones intelligence because intelligence is something that can NEVER be accurately measured. There need to be more tests measuring one’s intelligence because the SAT cannot truly measure one’s ability to its fullest.</p>
<p>I don’t think the ACT is any easier than the SAT is. The only reason I took the ACT after is because I didn’t feel like studying all of the vocab words for CR on the SAT. The Writing and Math sections in the SAT are quite easy, and if you have a good grasp of vocabulary, CR shouldn’t cause you much trouble either. Most people who take the ACT score pretty much the same on the SAT, although there are some people who just do well on either the SAT or the ACT.</p>
<p>Yeah, I went with the ACT because the only time I took the SAT in highschool, I missed 8 vocabulary questions off the bat on the CR section and I really don’t have the time to spend memorizing exotic words. Not to mention the 25-minute essay which is fairly pointless anyway.</p>
<p>Ok, I went a little bit too far, but I still do believe that the ACT is easier and much more straight forward.</p>
<p>Most schools prefer the ACT over the SAT. Have you ever read a Princeton Review ACT prep book, the writers practically insult the SAT. It’s not as fair of a test than the ACT. Also, I think the ACT is actually slightly harder than the SAT. I scores a 2100 composite on the SAT but only a 26 on the ACT. The math section and science section killed me. I actually studied for the ACT while the SAT I took raw. The math section is so much more complex on the ACT then the SAT. It covers all the way to trigonometry…so if you aren’t a year ahead or a senior you are going to have trouble. Also, the ACT test your ability to ACHIEVE unlike the SAT which just test…idk what…but overall, the ACT is a more difficult, complex, and fair test than the SAT. I think most people agree. Also, it’s the ACT that comes up with the MCAT, not College Board. Since I’m pre-med, I better learn the style of the ACT writers anyways.</p>
<p>Sorry for grammar errors. Typed this from my iPhone which like to correct me when I’m right? Everytime I type “an” it corrects me for “a^n”…idk. Lol. Sorry for the bad grammar.</p>
<p>
Uh, no they don’t.
Wrong again… The AAMC comes up with the MCAT not the ACT.</p>
<p>ACT: I think that was supposed to be a satirical answer, hopefully, lol.</p>
<p>How do people not realize cjgone is a ■■■■■ yet?</p>
