Why SAT and ACT Scores Still Matter

Even in today’s test-optional admissions environment, a strong SAT or ACT score can still improve your child’s chances at selective schools and increase eligibility for scholarships. Colleges use test scores to assess academic preparedness, especially in core areas like math, reading, and science.

Here’s how the tests are scored:

  • The ACT includes four sections and provides a composite score from 1–36
  • The SAT is scored on a 1600-point scale, combining Math and Reading & Writing
  • Colleges often look for consistency and scores that meet or exceed the college readiness benchmark

Our tutors help students understand the ACT score breakdown, align their prep to target schools’ expectations, and create a score submission strategy as part of their broader college admissions plan.

Importance of Practice Tests in Effective Preparation

One of the most effective ways to prepare for the ACT or SAT is through regular practice tests. These full-length assessments allow students to:

  • Experience real test conditions
  • Identify weak spots in content or timing
  • Build familiarity with test structure and question types
  • Reduce anxiety and increase confidence

At Mackler Associates, every test preparation plan includes a series of practice exams with detailed score analysis and review sessions. This data-driven approach helps students make measurable progress with each tutoring session.
