<p>This is a simple questions: in UK universities, is the ACT as accepted as the SAT? It's not that I'm planning to replace the SAT (I could only take the ACT once, it is only offered in October at our school) with the ACT, but just wondering.</p>
<p>I believe most top UK universities admit US students based on AP exam scores (which they consider to be the closest equivalent to British A-level certificates). SATs appear to have little weight in admission decisions. That is definitely the case for example at Cambridge, where 3 AP exams at grades 5/5/5 or at least 5/5/4 are required in addition to a "high pass" in the HS diploma (translation : high GPA) and the SAT. The Oxford</a> admissions site mentions however that a mix of AP and SAT/ACT scores is used, including a minimum total score of 2100 in the SAT (or 32 in the ACT) and two or more AP exams at grades 4 or 5, or 700+ SAT II scores in three or four subjects.</p>
