Question

How should students approach the decision to take the SAT or the ACT?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that the only way to really make an informed decision as to which test is a better fit for you is to take a full-length diagnostic exam for both the ACT and the SAT before doing any prep. I also would look at the pros and cons for each test.

I personally took the ACT because there is NO PENALTY for guessing on the test. An educated guess won't hurt your score on the ACT.
