ACT reading is a lot more direct and the questions are easier (at least to me personally) - the issue is timing. SAT reading is harder, with harder questions and confusing wording, but there’s more time. It all really depends on what you think would be easier for you to improve on, either content or timing. Erica Meltzer’s books are supposed to be really good; I’ve never actually used them but I’ve used her website and it’s great too.

Also, keep in mind that your SAT score might have been a lot higher without all of the bubbling/erasing mistakes, so if you think you would’ve achieved your goal without those mistakes, it might be worth a try (or even score verification). Good luck, practice tests are your friend! (:
