You should give the ACTs a try. Personally, my SAT scores and ACT scores are almost the same. And no, the ACTs are not easier. It only depends on the person who takes the test that makes it easier for the individual. ACTs are more factual based, while the SATs are more logic based.

Some schools such as Chicago University, Emory University, etc. will take ACTs in place of SAT reasoning and SAT II subject tests. It states on collegeboard, “Considered if Submitted: SAT Subject Tests.” Other schools, such as the UC system schools, require both ACT and SATII tests (if not submitting the SAT).

Hope that helped, and good luck.

You were correct in your first assumption. Do NOT take the SATs again. Honestly, I do not suggest it. If you take it a fourth time, when you go to send your scores to a college or university, College Board will average your scores together. It’s not worth it at all unless you get a perfect score on the fourth try, and even then, the university will not see that.

A 1800/2400 is not a bad score at all. Sure, some people get perfect scores or above 2000, but the SATs are not everything in deciding on who gets accepted. In fact, most people who take the SATs get between a 1000-1500/2400. You are over 300 points higher than that.

Remember, the ACT is generally considered loads easier than the SAT, Remember that in your decision.
