Help:SAT or ACT?

<p>I'm a senior high freshman in china. wish to attend one of the top 20s. most kids here prefer to take SATs and struggles to get 2200+. what about ACTs? is it the same for international students to take either sat or act?is there a better one or should i just take both : (?
thanx~</p>

<p>Why dont u try both? I tried taking both practice tests without prep and I found that sat was the one for me.</p>

<p>I would take some practice tests and see which of the two you prefer. I don’t think one is particularly considered ‘better’ than the other.</p>

<p>Although the SAT is more common, the great majority of colleges emphasize that they view a 36 ACT and a 2400 SAT entirely equally. In general, SAT focuses more on reasoning and ACT focuses more on material learned. I would recommend taking both.</p>
