[sorry if there's another topic on this - three letter words cant be searched for lol.]

Has anyone taken the ACT or the practice version (plan)? If so, how was your score?

And if you've taken both, how much higher did you score on the actual act than on the plan?

I took the plan last year... and got a 23. I scored the highest my class, but there's only 20 of us lol. So I wanted to see how my score compared to everyone elses, especially those that took the plan then the act.

I have not taken it.

But college people say that if you take the ACT, it might weight more than the SATs when choosing students.

I might be taking it soon.

^ Really? I didnt know that. But i've heard its easier to take than the Sat.

i took a fake act in my act/sat prep class. it was just to show us what it would look like.

i got a 20.
which is pretty shitty.

i took the act (yes, the real one) in like 8th grade and got a very shitty 18 then. they dont give you enough time for slow workers like me.

i had better get a much higher score now! i'm a junior. but whatever, not like im going to go to college anywhere special.

8th grade??

I didnt know you could take it that young lol. Well hopefully you'll score higher, considering its been three years.

I took PLAN as a freshman and scored a 28...

^ That makes me look like a retard.

My school doesn't even offer PLAN, and I am planning on taking the ACT in my junior in addition to my SAT. I have heard ACT is easier, so I would have a back-up in case I screwed up my SAT.

32. How I pulled that off I have no idea.

^ Whaaa?


Yah, I think it is supposed to be easier. I know most colleges will accept both, but if you're wanting to major in engineering, medicine, or anything else science related, they usually require the ACT.

Comparing my scores from 10th grade on the PLAN and practice SAT, I did a hell of alot better on the ACT. I dontt know if I was just having a off day when I took the SAT, but my teacher even said that it didnt look like the same person took it.

I've never taken the ACT; just the SAT. My friends have though..but I've heard that it was harder?

^ You mean the SAT being harder? I think it is.

^it depends on what you're better at as well.

^ Thats true. I know for me, the Science on the SAT was alot harder compared to the ACT.

There's no science on the SAT....

^ Really? Oh.
