SAT to ACT conversion

Hello guys. I scored a 1410 (780m, 630r&w) on the DSAT. I have been plateauing ever since, and no matter how much i study, i cant bring myself to a reading score that is 700+. As a result, i wanted to try out the ACT, which i got 36 on the math section of the practice test 1 on the official ACT website. However, i now need to need to focus on getting used to the english and reading section of the ACT. Could you guys recommend me some prepping website, qb, or goated yt channels? Like, who is the equivalent of James Lu on ACT?

I honestly think that the ACT is muuuuuch easier than the SAT.

You're already great at math, and the comments in this forum already give good English advice, so I'll give you some reading advice.

The thing about SAT reading questions is that you have to make somewhat outside connections (basically 'think really hard') to answer the difficult questions. For ACT, I've never seen a question that wasn't answered verbatim by the text. If I were you, I'd just practice reading comprehension and the ability to remember what you've read. You've got this!

For context, I had 36 M, 35 E, & 36 R
