<p>Now, I am not one to brag, but I wanted to let all of the non-geniuses on this site know to not let your hopes down if you do not get a good score. I highly recommend trying the other test if you don’t do so hot on the first. I am glad I did.</p>
<p>tennisace2007…i know you are probably thinking this, but only send those good ACT scores to the schools. dont even tell them that you took the SATs. thats what im doing :)</p>
<p>omg that is a very very big difference. thanks for pushing the bar up. :)</p>
<p>Yes, definitely dont even let colleges see that SAT.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I was amazed by the difference myself, and I am for sure only sending the ACT score. The only problem is that my school puts the test scores on the transcript and I don’t know if they can take them off. Also, I already got my transcripts and they don’t include the ACT score since I got them a week ago. I better go see if I can get them changed. Thanks again.</p>
<p>I had the same problem. Terrible SAT (1950), and I just got a much better score on the ACT (34) on my first try. I asked my guidance counselor about taking my SAT scores off my transcript, and she gave me a letter to have my parents sign and bring back that would take both my SAT and ACT scores off (it’s all or nothing).</p>
<p>I was very relieved that it was so easy. If they give you a hard time about it, have your parents call in. They are YOUR scores to choose to report or not. Your high school should not have the right to send out your scores if you don’t want them sent. Good luck!</p>
<p>Good for you 19382. I think I’ll try that when I get to school.</p>
<p>I bought two practice books: Princeton Review and Real Act and studied over the summer by just taking individual sections of the test, that is not one big test. However, I only took each section 2 times from July to September, but I did read all of the topics covered. </p>
<p>But what I think what worked for me was going into the ACT knowing that I could do everything and not stressing out. I also am horrible with vocab so it definitly helped that there was none on the ACT.</p>
<p>hardwork is more respected then genius. GW man</p>
