Shifting from the SAT to ACT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>So I am taking the SATs next weekend and am registered for the April ACT. How hard is the transition? Any advice? How high can I expect to score, seeing as I have about a 2200 on the SAT? What things will I need to really emphasize in my studying? </p>

<p>Thank you all. I’d really like to do well (I’m trying to be recruited for a sport to an Ivy and need to kinda get my testing out of the way this year, and if my SATs don’t go the way I want them to I need to have my ACT to help).</p>

<p>The ACT is based around reading comprehension at fast speed. If you can read/think analyze fast, you will do ok. Time is going to be your main enemy, not the difficulty of the questions like on the SAT. Time yourself with practice tests. </p>

<p>Focus a little on the science section, it’s not on the SAT. Read the questions/answers before looking at the charts.</p>

<p>To speed up your reading comprehension read a fun novel or two, something like Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. </p>
