What was your SAT vs ACT score?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Mine is really unbalanced. I got a 24 on the ACT, but a 2050 (1430 CR+M) on the SAT. It's strange, because apparently math people do better on the ACT, but I did much better on the SAT. </p>

<p>How do your scores compare? What do you think explains the differences in your scores?</p>

<p>2120 SAT (700 CR, 690 M, 730 W) and a 33 ACT (34 S, 35 R, 34 E, 29 M)</p>

<p>The science section absolutely makes a difference! Plus a lot of people find the ACT easier- I spent months studying for the SAT and only took a couple practice tests for the ACT the week beforehand, and did a lot better on the ACT. Math will always be my weakness though :)</p>

<p>My daughter, a senior, had a 34 on the ACT and 2270 on the SAT – I think the SAT score equates to a 35 on the ACT so it’s possibly considered a little higher, but she submitted both scores to universities. She had a 36 on the ACT Science and Reading and she intends to major in science, so it seemed appropriate to submit the scores along with SAT.</p>

<p>33 - composite, 33.75 - “superscore”
1990 - SAT superscore
for some reason SAT Math kills me every time, ACT was a LOT easier for me </p>

<p>Same problem with me:
ACT 27 (31 English, 27 Math, 23 Science lol, 28 Reading)
SAT 2090 (670 Writing, 740 Math, 680 Reading)</p>

<p>I got a 2400 on the SAT. I never took an official ACT, but I did take a Kaplan SAT/ACT combo prior to my actual SAT, and they predicted a an overall score of 33 on the ACT for me (31 Science and Reading, 35 English and 36 Math). I always thought the ACT was a lot harder than the SAT, especially the science section (granted, I never did any serious studying for the ACT).</p>

<p>I got 35 on ACT (35 E, 36 M, 34 R, 35 S), and only 2130 on the SAT (670 R, 800 M, 660 W)</p>

<p>Dealing with words and tricky grammatical errors are my weakness, so the ACT is much easier compared to the SAT</p>

<p>2180 SAT and 30 ACT :(</p>
