[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DEFINITELY try the ACT. Our DC did and score in the upper 90s percentile. Slightly better overall that the SAT but in one area, much better. [b]The ACT works better for many students. [/b][/quote]+1. And I would try it first. The SAT can be emotionally deflating especially to kids who really are bright but don't test well with the SAT. I know a few kids who got a serious ego boost with the ACT after bombing on the SAT.[/quote] OP here - This would be my DD for sure. She is a bright girl - not gifted. Tests poorly, and it is very upsetting to her. This is very helpful information.[/quote] It varies - one of mine did very well on SATs, and not well on ACTs and the other one (with ADHD) the opposite. So definitely need to try both. The ACT requires much less test taking strategy (although that may change with the new SATs).[/quote]
