Three questions on that ACT

<p>Hi,
I’ve just taken the december sat and got a 2030. I have three questions concerning the act:

  1. When you use the conversion table, it only translates the composite score into the math and reading, while doing writing separately. So how do you translate the scores on the 2400 range?
  2. I’m new to this ACT thing, and wonder if there is a good book to prep for it. How many tests are there in the ACT official book? How much is that book?
  3. According to your own experience, do you have a higher ACT or SAT score?</p>

<p>oh yeah, and how long do you have to wait for the result?</p>

<p>Well the waiting thing is anywhere from two weeks to eight weeks. As you can see some people got their scores this past Monday, but many others are still waiting for their scores and might not get them until February. Oh and I had a higher ACT score :D.</p>

<p>1) I’d just google more conversion tables to find one that has a 2400-conversion. There’s some out there.
2)The best prep book is probably the ACT official book. It has 3 real practice tests, and is about 15~20 dollars. ( $16 on amazon.com)
3)I definitely have a higher ACT score, and perhaps an even higher one after I get my December ACT score. ( I have a 2090 SAT from October, and a 33 ACT from September. Using a 2400-conversion, that’s about a 100~110 SAT point difference)
4)Depends. 2-8 weeks as Trunks said.</p>

<p>1) The conversion table is not exact. I mean I got a 1380 on CR and math, that’s a 31 on ACT, but as a whole I got 2030, a 29 on ACT
2) There’re only 3 practice tests??? How do I purchase more?
4) So how do we check? Check back every week on the website?</p>

<p>Here’s a conversion table for you on the 2400 scale.

<p>Yes, there are only 3 practice tests, but you can get more by maybe borrowing an old ACT book edition or buy a different ACT book and use those unofficial ACT tests (Princeton Review, McGraw Hill, etc.)</p>

<p>Yes, you check your status/scores on the website (act.org)</p>
