SAT vs ACT

Should You Take The ACT or SAT?

Gaining acceptance into a competitive college requires high SAT or ACT test scores. Many students express a need to take both exams, believing this will increase their odds of acceptance. In reality, most colleges and universities do not prefer one standardized test to another. Obtaining two high-test scores is almost irrelevant to college admission offices since both tests hold identical weight. So instead of dedicating countless hours to studying for both tests, educators advise students to evaluate their strengths and focus all their attention on selecting the right test to highlight their strong subjects.

The following questions will help test takers gauge the best test to match their academic strengths and formatting preferences.
