<p>Just FYI, my daughter took the SAT twice and had the exact same overall score. Some of her SAT sections went up and some down so it helped with schools like Pomona and Scripps who look at the best score in each section.
And when she took the ACT, using the UC formulas to translate it, she also got the same exact total score. She only took the ACT once and didn’t study for it. But I would think the ACT would be easier to improve your score by studying since it is more fact driven.</p>
