Awesome grades - "meh" SATs or ACTs?

About reading those score reports–my S was one of those “doesn’t study for anything, generally did fine”, kind of students. When he took the SAT for the first time, his math seemed kind of low for him. He looked at the report and realized he was getting things wrong through hasty computation. Took it three months later and math went up 60 points–putting his SAT well in line with his grades. Learned a lesson in paying attention to detail, as well as ended up in his reach school.
