<p>It's been a rumor for a long time but colleges seem to refuse it.
However, 95% of the students said ACT is relatively easier than SAT.
Do colleges know that? Do they prefer SAT? Do they weigh them equally?</p>
<p>According to their policies, most colleges (even the top, top schools) weigh them equally.</p>
<p>Take them at the word. Not something to worry about.</p>
<p>Have never seen in any valid study a claim that 95% of students say ACT is easier than SAT so I wonder where your figure comes from. In any event, almost all colleges accept either test without having a preference. An exception is the Cal Poly’s, which are in a state where the SAT has long been the predominate test taken by high school students and which about four years ago decided to declare a preference for which test to submit: the ACT.</p>
<p>There is a reason there is an SAT/ACT Concordance Chart.</p>
