Question about my PLAN/PSAT scores...

A 32 would be at the high end of your projected range. If you project to the middle of the range, a 30, the converted SAT equivalent is about 2000, which is roughly the same as your PSAT score.

Is one “easier”? Most testers feel the ACT asks more straightforward, less “puzzle-like”, questions, but time pressure is greater. ACT is more quantitative (Math and Science = 50% vs. Math = 33% on the SAT). You decide what is easier for you. Some students do score consistently better on one test than the other but in general results correlate at almost .90 – very similar results for most people.

Obviously you need to get some actual scores, not projected scores, but anticipate that they will convert fairly closely to each other. Once you get scores feel free to pick either one or both to send – all schools accept both.
