<p>ACT is much easier than the SAT lol</p>
<p>most colleges dont care though but they some do acknowledge that :</p>
<p>It depends on the student really. ACT is based more on the material you’ve learned in high school, while SAT is more about your logic and reasoning skills. Most people are better at one than at the other.</p>
<p>"2300=36?? ARE U SERIOUS…? "</p>
<p>That’s pretty much it, sorry. It’ll be little while though.</p>
<p>I got a 33! This was my first time taking the ACT and I am so happy! Much better than my 2000 SAT score!
E:33
M:32
R:32
S:33</p>
<p>Now for that October SAt…urgh</p>
<p>English: 34
Math: 35
Reading: 31
Science: 26
Composite: 32</p>
<p>I’m done. I have a 33 superscored. **** the ACT and every college test.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Where’s the proof? I think the SAT-ACT conversion tables created by College Board and ACT are somewhat more reliable than the baseless speculation of a single teenager.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, that’s a single opinion and has no bearing on what colleges do. I’d like to see the evidence that colleges somehow determined that one test is “harder” than the other and thus value it more than the other.</p>
<p>^ Woh, man. Be careful on that “baseless speculation of a single teenager”.</p>
<p>Anyway, did you get a 33? If so, I’m sorry. You seem like the type who should have got higher. </p>
<p>But really, have you ever actually examined the phenomena of ACT/SAT conversions in college chances and acceptance rates, or is the opinion that you think the tests are equal just a mindless speculation.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that you just read that somewhere, and that you don’t know the truth. Here it is.</p>
<p>In the past year or two, ACT scores have increased like crazy. Back then, a 32 was 99th percentile, but now it is like 95. Until a few years ago, Ivy league schools would not even accept people who sent the ACT, since they did not try to convert, and THEY KNEW, for 45+ years, that the tests were not equal.</p>
<p>The ACT has realistically, with higher scores, been getting easier for the average student, while the SAT has been adapting. Therefore, colleges have been finding the SAT more credible (you are relatively new to this forum, so you would not know of all the jokes about saying “everyone do bad” to get the ACT better credibility). </p>
<p>The ACT and the SAT, like I said, have NEVER been equal in colleges eyes. They aren’t dumbasses, they know that you can pull an easy 36 in a week of studying, while a 2400 would be MUCH more skill and mind oriented. They know as well as you do that the SAT is way harder. </p>
<p>SOme colleges have instituted policies that say that they accept the tests as being equal, but they ARE FLATOUT LYING.</p>
<p>Come on, any ass off the street or in the girls bathroom knows that a 2400 is more valuable than a 36. The college may tell you they are equal, but they secretly know which is much harder, and some even acknowledge it loud and clear.</p>
<p>regardless of whether or not that is true, you said it won’t be taking affect for awhile, so it is dumb for us (all of whom I assume are juniors/seniors) to argue about it because it won’t effect us, regardless of if it is the truth…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I scored higher than that. And FWIW, I prefer the SAT to the ACT. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have read through dozens of results pages on this website and there is no evidence to suggest that a 2340 scorer would have a better chance than a 35er or vice versa. In addition, you can check many colleges’ websites to see something similar to the following “We require the SAT Reasoning Test with the writing component or the ACT with the writing test. We do not prefer one over the other.” There, I provided a direct quote from MIT’s website while you offer no credence for your claims.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Back up your claim. Besides, if a 36 were “easy” and doable in “a week of studying,” I imagine a lot more than 600 people a year would be getting perfect scores. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Acknowledged loud and clear, and yet you are unable to produce any concrete evidence.</p>
<p>^^lol, that other guy just got owned.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’ve just offended half of the people here with your ridiculous rant and your wording.</p>
<p>I have read enough of the crap that ACT is easier. For these people, they deserve high scores in neither SAT nor ACT. Really, they are not very intelligent, period.</p>
<p>The difficulty levels of the 2 are the same.
The belt curve they use that are generated by millions of testers don’t lie. If you get 31 on ACT your are on a similar spot on the curve as those who score 2100 on SAT. The distribution of the curve is that you want to be in the 100%, for instance, you have to get 34 or 2300. Each year, a few hundred of people score 36 or 2400. They are about the same number, actually a few more score 2400 (SAT is easier if you want to argue).</p>
<p>Interestingly, contrary to some people say, many colleges give more credit to ACT takers. They will even waive SATII requirement if one submits ACT scores with writing. Many of these schools are well respected, such as NYU, University of Chicago, etc. Ya. If you send SAT scores, you need 2 SAT II’s, if you send in ACT with writing, you don’t need any more standard test scores. Do you think they have this rule just so they can reject ACT takers more easily? We don’t think so. I think they like the areas of what the ACT are testing. It is probably more relevant to their college requirements. More and more colleges accept ACT scores not because they don’t like the test, they like the test! </p>
<p>Because of the differences in how they sort testers (not difficulty), it is normal for people to score differently depending on his/her strength. So if you think ACT is easy that is great. Use that as your advantage. Maybe you are a fast thinker, who prefer to correct grammar errors from editing an assay rather than from one sentence, who can think logically (in science), etc… Go take ACT and score high. If you bad-ass ACT just because you can’t score it higher than SAT or for whatever reason, then shut up and look at the score distributions first.</p>
<p>@Egbert Souse: </p>
<p>Oh, really? A 32 composite isn’t in the 99th percentile any longer? </p>
<p>The ACT begs to differ. If you care to look at the national ranks for scores, you’ll see that a 32 is not in the “like 95[th]” percentile. </p>

<p>Now it’s <em>your</em> turn to back up the claims you make with facts.</p>
<p>heh.</p>
<p>fools…you’ll see soon enough…just you wait…</p>
<p>so much anger…</p>
<p>^ Exactly. Lol</p>
<p>Egbert you are very sure of yourself to be only a freshman. And your opinion IS what jamesford said. One teenager’s opinion. You think you are more knowledgeable than everyone else, but you are not an adcom.
And why are you so set against the ACT? Idt you’ve gotten a 35 OR 36 for how “easy” it is lol…In fact, didn’t you say you got a 27 or something? I smell a ■■■■■!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone on their scores!!!</p>
<p>shh…wrong egbert :P</p>
<p>i have absolutely no idea who you are referring to.</p>
