<p>Hi!! im confused whether it is necessary to take both the act and the sat. im aware that I personally score better on the act and the colleges im lookin at take either. however, does it look better if u submit both scores? thanks for ur help!</p>
<p>Almost all schools accept either. Its a good idea to take the plus writing portion of the ACT though. Most elite schools also require either 2 or 3 SAT II's (also know as the SAT subject tests)</p>
<p>I'm taking both in the hopes I'll do better on one than the other. I've heard that a lot of people are better at one than the other. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I'll bomb my upcoming SAT. I just started studying and decided to use the first practice test in sections to see how I perform without time constraints...only got from 630-710 range on the CR...(didn't attempt the math because I haven't reviewed Geometry yet)</p>
<p>In other words: I fail at the SAT.</p>
<p>I'll have ample time to study for the ACT though, since I'm not taking it until June. </p>
<p>I'm submitting both. -shrug- Just trying to send as much material as I can (without going overboard).</p>
<p>LKei, depending on the schools, if your ACT is much better than your SAT, you may not want to submit SAT scores unless schools specifically request all that you have taken.</p>
<p>And taken both is unnecessary. I took only SAT, never even looked at anything related to ACT.</p>
<p>Well, already signed up to send the scores, so...</p>
<p>I just want to take both because I want a chance to do better. I want to try the ACT because the SAT just...sucks in my opinion.</p>
<p>All schools take both tests. The last hold out converted about two years ago.</p>
<p>The ACT is nice because often the more competitive (not most competitive) schools won’t require SAT IIs with the submission of the ACT.</p>
