<p>Yes-it seems rather a hassle even though I know plenty of kids plunk down money to take both SAT and ACT numerous times. My oldest only did the SAT and I think my middle son will only do the SAT; oldest had three subject tests and so will middle son. That should more than suffice for a school like SLO, I would say, if two of the tests are in math and science and the scores are good. And certainly, if a student has taken Calc AP or Physics AP exams and received good scores, those also should be more than sufficient to make up for lack of ACT.</p>
<p>Well, this wasn’t a question for myself, anyhow, but it’s important to be able to pass along the facts to people who inquire.</p>
<p>Geology, I have heard some schools have kids taking the ACT every year because it’s required. Do they expect kids to study for it on their own or do schools provide test prep, too?</p>
