<p>Scroll down to Test Scores. It says:
"The SAT I is strongly preferred, but ACT scores are accepted."</p>

<p>yeah i guess...</p>

<p>then why do they say they'll take either on their website? why dont they just they prefer the SAT?</p>

4

<p>Always go with the official website, which states they accept both. The website you provided is obviously outdated.</p>

<p>It's kind of obvious that most colleges prefer the SAT to the ACT. The SAT is a longer established and, some would argue, a more difficult test. My opinion: there should be a single standard, not two different tests, to compare students nationally (and internationally).</p>

<p>i agree with argon.</p>

<p>ya i agree. and think about it, the SATs are more explicit and exact score-wise. ex wen an ACT score of 35 gets converted to an SAT scale, it's 1500-1560. its hard to tell exactly where it lies.</p>

<p>who cares? they are both two totally different tests, and if princeton says they allow both, they can't be biased towards someone who sends in the ACT -- it just cant work that way (I hope lol). </p>

<p>That would be like saying they prefer AP over IB or something. </p>

<p>I dn though ....</p>
