<p>Do very competitive colleges and universities prefer you taking the SAT over the ACT even though they say that either would work, or does it not matter? I am from Minnesota and it is much more common to take just the ACT and the SAT II tests. Does the SAT I help you on the SAT II?</p>
<p>ACT and SAT are weighed equally.</p>
<p>Is the SAT 1 required to take SAT 2 subject tests?</p>
<p>Ya ,I think so^. The advantage of taking the ACT is that some colleges don't require 2 sat IIs if you take the ACT.</p>
