The ACTs: Should I bother?

Applying to College
1

<p>I’ve taken three SAT2s (Math IC, US and BIO E) and done very well on all of them and I took the SATs in June and expect to get good grades on that too</p>

<p>i signed up for the Sep ACTs but havent started studying </p>

<p>is there really a point to taking them if you did well on SAT2s and SAT1s?</p>

<p>No, unless you think you can do even better on the ACT.
Enjoy the summer. Go out with friends, get a job, volunteer, etc. Take a break from studying :)</p>

<p>There isn’t. I mean, you might do well on the ACT if you try it. (It’s not as much prep or stress as the SAT.) It’s a good alternative if you do well.</p>

<p>But, since you’re happy with your SAT/SAT IIs, it seems a bit unneccessary.</p>

<p>if your SATs are good, don’t bother.</p>

<p>you’re probably (definitely) fine but the ACT’s are WONDERFUL. i literally didn’t study at ALL (don’t take my example) because i was like whatever i did well on the SAT’s who cares. and comparitively my ACT score is a good amount better. just read over an ACT practice book and go take them- its not a stressful test and don’t study a lot just read over it.</p>

<p>DD2 is taking the ACTs only because Ohio requires it for a scholarship that is available if you go to college in-state.</p>
