Try the ACT Test if SAT Score Doesn’t Meet Standards

Many students are learning that their SAT test score is not giving them the options necessary to attend a good college, and that the ACT test may be their answer. Working with a private tutor with experience with both the SAT and ACT tests can be a great way to learn which test suits you best, and the tutor can prepare you for the test-taking strategies that apply to each test. As the following article states, many students perform better on the ACT, and you should not miss out on the opportunity to find out if you are one of them.

Didn’t do well in SAT? Take the ACT and get into a top-ranked US institute

A few months ago Aditya Wadhwani, took the SAT. The SAT, earlier the Scholastic Assessment Test, has long been the standard exam for those applying to universities in the US. Wadhwani, 18, didn’t stop there however. He had heard about another exam – the ACT – and word had it that it was easier than the SAT and like the SAT, was also accepted by all American colleges. When it came down to comparing his scores, Wadhwani found that his ACT score of 34 out of 36, was better than his SAT score. “My ACT score was much higher, and I believe the exam itself is easier than the SAT,” said Wadhwani, who has sent both his scores to US universities. “There has been a steady increase in the number of students taking the ACT in India and ACT is actively exploring options to expand the availability of the ACT American university admissions test in India,” said Suraj Raghavan, Senior Consultant, International Client Outreach and Partnerships at ACT, on a visit to the city this week.
