<p>Did you take the ACT's? If so, why?</p>
<p>I don't know, some people tell me it's harder than the SATs, and then some tell me it's easier than SATs! Also, are colleges really starting to look at more ACT scores?</p>
<p>I don't know much about this test, except that there's an additional science section...</p>
<p>Do some just take it to show more scores to colleges?</p>
<p>I took it because you don’t get penalized for guessing like you do on the SAT, but the time constraint is kind of tough to finish on time, especially that science section. It also depends on what colleges you’re looking at. Typically east-coast schools prefer the SAT and that’s where I want to apply but I took the ACT anyway because we’re more familiar with it where I live (Midwest).</p>
