<p>i've only taken the SAT, and my score is rather good (2280). i've heard people say it helps to take the act as well, but i know that my act scores wont compare to my sat scores, so is it really worth taking them?</p>
<p>well... how do you know?</p>
<p>and I would say that it's unnecessary.</p>
<p>No. It is not.</p>
<p>It will make little difference at U of C. Remember also that Chicago only uses the CR & Math and does not look at the writing score. It is more important to spend the time on the essays.</p>
<p>You can't be sure that you won't do better on the SAT, though. I had a score similar to yours on the SAT (2300). I wasn't going to even bother with the ACT, but I decided in June to take it for scholarship reasons, and I got a 35. There's really nothing to lose by taking the ACT, except maybe four hours of your life. But I'm not sure if you need to.</p>
