Why was I denied???

<p>Make sure that you maintain focus on the Math score. It’s been suggested that you take the ACT as well. Be careful. Preparing for SAT Math is not the same as preparing for ACT Math. They are different tests. SAT attempts to test “reasoning” and goes through Algebra II whereas ACT problems tend to be more straightforward, but many students find themselves pressed for time to do them all. ACT has some basic precal material. </p>

<p>My opinion: You should pick one or the other and focus on it. You might do a practice math section of each type and compare the results. There are resources online that can help in comparing SAT to ACT. Go with the one you do better on. Once you’ve taken that test, then prepare for the other, but give yourself time to prepare. For instance, if you end up taking the 12/3 SAT, don’t try to take the 12/10 ACT unless the results from the 2/11 ACT won’t be in time to matter. I just don’t think a week is sufficient time for the “mindset switch” that you’ll need to make going from one test to the other.</p>

<p>You can do this. We’re pulling for you. :)</p>
