Should I take only the ACT, or should I take both the SAT and ACT?

I recently took both SAT and ACT practice tests. My SAT score was 70th percentile, while my ACT was 98th. All the colleges I want to apply to accept the ACT, and I feel that I could do better on the ACT if I focused all of my studying power into it instead of splitting it with the SAT. I am a freshman, so I have 3 years before I apply to colleges, so some that I like might stop accepting the ACT.

Is there a practice test version of the SAT?

I’m going to be a freshman in high school i know it’s sorta early for me to start worrying about taking the SAT for College.

However, i’d like to take a look at the SAT to get prepared when i take the SAT (which i don’t know when so any info would be helpful).

Thanks!

I got an 18 on my ACT test… is that bad?!?!?!?

ok so it was my first time to take the ACT test, and i graduated high school, in 2009, and my GPA was a B (3.0-3.4) and I’m currently a freshman in college. I’m only taking my basics for now, but I want to go to The Dallas Nursing Institute, BUT you have to have at least a 19 on the ACT… so is having an 18 on the ACT a bad score? I got a 20 on English, a 16 in Mathematics (i really suck in math. I’ve always struggled with it), a 17 in Reading (I’m good in reading, but I kind of rushed through the whole 45 minutes that they gave us on the test, so I think this is where I messed up :/ ), and a 20 in Science (I suck in science as well). My Writing scores haven’t came in yet… but I really want to go to this school and the only way to retest is NEXT year :( I don’t want to wait that long… Help me because I getting kind of depressed… ugh!

Can colleges see my SAT Online Practice Test score?

I just did a full SAT online practice test for free on the official website. To be more precise, actually, I did half of the test and then skipped the rest just to see what I scored on what I had done so far. I did this online practice test on the same account I am going to be using for the rest of my life (I am a freshman at the moment). I know that colleges see all SAT scores, no matter how many times you retake it, but will they also see the scores I submitted for this practice test?

i’m a high school junior. This year im only in 2 pre-AP classes, physics and french but i took mostly PreAP freshman and sophomore year. I’m in advanced math and sciences too but the math isnt Preap. So far my grades are high B and low A. i think my weighted Gpa is 3.73 and my unweighted is around a 3.4. My ACT is a 27 but that was the first time and i took it with little preparation, my sat scores werent so strong so im mainly focusing on my ACT. i do alot of volunteer at my church and i do art as an extracurricular. im pretty sure i can get into Texas A and M but i want to get into a beter school. I was looking at Elon University and i really like it so far. Is there a good chance of getting in? i read the acceptance rate is about 45%.
Thanks

Preparation for a Ivy League school?

I’m a freshman, and I currently have a 4.0 GPA.
My 1st semester average was a 100, and my second semester average overall is currently 99 ( about to be 100).
I’m not in any clubs, but is trying to join science club, and as many as i can next school year.
I’m always the top in class, and will take as many AP classes i can take.
As for extracurriculars, I’m in the school soccer team, and is the captain of the soccer team.
Im trying to study very hard this summer to take the PSAT and the SAT on my sophomore year.
I’m trying to schedule a volunteer work over the summer.
Questions to former ivy league graduates. What else should I do in order to go to a ivy league school? I want to major in business. My goal is to become a CEO.
Can anyone recommend test taking tips or books i should buy to study?
Also, maybe AP classes I can take or other extracurricular activities i should do?
I want to participate in leader ship, but im too afraid to do so, any ideas?
I think too much before speaking out loud.

Thank you guys in advance, I appreciate your help.
