<p>I think that anyone who can go from a 1700 to a 2200 is very intelligent. They were probably always able to get that score anyways they just weren’t familiar with the test. The SAT requires you to have basic reading skills that are extremely hard to learn. Its kinda just about going with instinct. Whereas the ACT you can actually study for. I think that SAT is more or an indicator than the ACT. But at the same time it isn’t really an indicator. Because once you are scoring above 2000 any dumb little mistake will really throw your score down. SO it really does just come down to how familiar you are with the test, how you pace yourself, your vocab, and LUCK</p>
