My daughter, a high school junior, just switched from prepping for SAT to ACT. Her PSAT score was roughly comparable to her mock ACT score but after this short exposure to the ACT, she decided to switch because 1) she works fast, which is a useful skill for the ACT, and 2) the questions are more straightforward and less tricky, which is something she had trouble with in the Critical Reading section of the PSAT.
