in the fall, i’m either going to retake the SAT and the SATIIs or try out the ACT.

first try on the PSAT i got a 182, second time i got a 202, first time on the SAT i got a 2040 (cr 610, math 640, writing 790), second time on the SAT i got a 2150 (cr 640, math 720, writing 780)

i just did a practice ACT exam on princetonreview… i skipped the essay.
i got composite 29, english 29, math 31, reading 33, and science 26.

considering that that was my first try, do you think it’d be worth it to practice and try to get a score that’d be better than my SAT?
or should i just study for an SAT retake instead?
i want to apply to UCLA… here’s their collegeboard range. i’m not sure if the SAT and ACT scores necessarily seem to go hand in hand based on what i’ve read of ‘equivalents’.
SAT
cr 570-690
math 610-740
writing 580-700
ACT
24-31
