ACTis outta 36\nSAT is outta 1600\nbest way to prepare for them is to get SAT or ACT preparation book from ur local B&N and study it. i spent 1000$ on a course my teacher told me about and my scores dropped which like never happens accoring to them but then i studied my self and my scores went up 200 points. so just review basic stuff. The stuff we learn in school is not in SAT. SAT is a critical thinking test while ACT is a school based test. good luck ...... \np.s start taking them in 11th grade because you can take em as many times as you want or till you get ur desired score.

Can you really get one from the SAT?  I thought they only gave out those National Merit things for the PSAT.  If you want to do well on the SAT (which isn't a bad idea), try studying some of the prep books or taking a preparation class.  They're generally helpful if you lack the self-discpline of studying tons of vocab for no reason and reading quite a bit to get through those sections.

Considering the New SAT is out of a score of 2400, you really should be shooting for anything above 600 in each section. 600 math, 600 critical reading, and 600 writing. You should really consider taking a Kaplan Prep course. If not, feel free to register for free 45 days of online access to our SAT quizbank site.

If you are going to take it again, make sure you are doing something different to prepare for it like taking a prep class, etc. If you don't, the test is designed so that your scores won't change that much given your same level of skills and effort. 30 points out of the scoring range of 600-2400 is not that much. Many colleges and scholarship committees take the average of all your scores. And as previously suggested, you may also want to consider taking the ACT as well. Good luck.

The SAT is basically a college entrance exam.  I think the majority of colleges accept the SAT, but I know that there are many (especially in the Midwest) that prefer the ACT.  The websites below will give you all the info about what you need to do and how to register for the exam.

SAT is comprised of three parts: Verbal, Math, and Analytical (short essay). ACT is much more broad in subject and includes Science and grammatical editing as well.\n\nMost colleges look at it to see where you fit on a spectrum of students, and how comparable your score is to the average score. This will aid them in determining your acceptance and also your placement in classes once you get to University.\n\nI would recommend taking both tests, as you may do far better on one than the other.

NOPE, no such place. just take it easy, SAT is not all that bad.  besides you can take it more than once if you want, and the higher scores count

You'll need to check with the individual programs. Some of them tend to be more flexible than others. However, when you do retake the test (and don't just go for the ACT, try the SAT, too!) make sure that you come better prepared - learn everything you can about the test, practice managing your time better, and get help on the parts of the test you found particularly challenging.\n\ngood luck!

I'm not sure if it helps, but you can do a sample test or practice test of the math part of the ACT at actstudent.org.\n\nGood luck!

Different Testing Philosophies\nSAT was developed as an aptitude test, and though it no longer claims to measure aptitude its format and its questions still do seek to root out “innate ability” through tricky questions and confusing phrasing. \nIn contrast, the ACT is an assessment test. It tries to test the knowledge you’ve acquired in high school rather than any “innate ability” you might have. Because of this, ACT questions are more straightforward than SAT questions. You may find an ACT question difficult, but you’ll almost never feel that an ACT question is trying to “trick” you the way an SAT question is. \n\nTesting Content\nThe first way that the ACT and the SAT differ is in the content that they cover, though these differences have lessened with the recent changes made to the SAT. Both tests cover the following subjects: \n\nMath (though the ACT contains a little basic trigonometry, while the SAT does not) \n\nReading \nWriting and Grammar (the ACT has an “optional” essay, but most colleges will ask you to take it, so it isn’t really optional.) \nIn contrast, here are the subjects and content that is not common to both tests: \n\nSAT: The SAT has a focus on vocabulary that the ACT does not have. For the ACT you will not have to memorize vocabulary words. \n\nACT:The ACT has an entire section called the Science Reasoning Test that is unlike anything on the SAT. On the Science Reasoning Test students are shown various passages that describe scientific phenomena or scientific experiments. To score well on the Science Reasoning Test a student has to be comfortable with science (though no specific science knowledge is necessary). Even more important, a student has to be able to read, use, and make inferences from data and other scientific information. \n\nFormat\nThe SAT is a three hour and forty-five minute test containing three sections (Math, Critical Reading, and Writing). Each of those three sections is itself broken down into three timed sections that can appear in a variety of orders. \nThe ACT is more straightforward. It is four hours and fifteen minutes long (five hours if you take the optional essay). The ACT has four sections (Math, Reading, English, and Science Reasoning) each of which you will take one at a time. \nScoring\nThe SAT is scored out of a scale of 2400. On each of the three timed sections you will receive a score ranging between 200-800, with 800 being the highest. These three scores are added up to get your total score. For instance, if you got a 600, 620, and 660 on the three sections, your score for the SAT would be an 1880. \n\nThe ACT is graded on a scale of 36. For each of the four sections, you will receive a score on that 36-point scale. For instance, you may get a 28 on the ACT Math. Your total score on the ACT, also called your ACT Composite Score, is the average of your four subject test scores. So if you got a 28, 29, 31, and 32 on the four sections, your ACT Composite Score would be a 30. \n\nSlowly increasing number of colleges are starting to emphasize the ACT rather than the SAT as the test-of-choice for college admissions, and the changes recently made to the SAT have actually made that test more similar to the ACT. \nEven so, there are still many differences between the ACT and the SAT. Here are those basic differences. \n\nALSO CHECK Princeton Review at: \nhttp://www.princetonreview.com/testprep/testprep.asp?TPRPAGE=141&type=ACT-LEARN

The costs you refer to are for a course and not for the test itself which is nominal. If you know the material, you might try simply purchasing a review book at your local book store ( or borrowing from the library).\n\nIf you need a course (particularly in an immigrabt community) they may be offered by local community groups or religious groups. no fee courses may also be offered at adult or continuing education centers at local high schools or similar. Try searching for YOUR state and GED on google

Now that they've established the new SAT, 1600 is well below the perfect score. I took the SAT a couple of weeks ago and made a 1640, which is only a little above average.\n\nI looked online, and the site won't list the usual combined score for students, but usually it's around 700 for reading and math individually.\n\nSo around 1400 if you aren't counting your essay and writing skills points

If you take their at-home test (us.mensa.org), send it back to them, and you score well enough, they'll mail you a discount voucher to take one of their proctor exams (I did this). The proctored exam on National Test Day (sometime in October or November) was $30 before the discount 3 years ago (when I took the test for admission).

First of all: way to go!!! Those are very competitive scores; the question now is not whether you'll get accepted, but how much financial support will you receive based on your scores. You definitely need to consider re-taking the physics test if you can review a few key concepts. You should also look into re-taking the ACT, since it was "nicer" to you, to raise your English score and pick up a few more points on Science/Reading. I do NOT recommend re-taking the SATI unless you know one of your target schools does not accept the ACT. Consider getting a little help with your ACT either from a book, or a private tutor. Good luck and, once again, congratulations!

That's great! It translates to about 1450 or so on the old SATs, if that helps. Most scholarships haven't necessarily adapted to this score though, so if you see a request for the score out of 1600, add the scores from the Verbal and Math sections.
