<p>Nobody cares about the ACT where I come from (So-Cal), but it seems to me that people score significantly better on the ACT than on the SAT - with no ACT prep whatsoever and years of SAT prep. I don't know about the entire school, but at least all the people I know who've taken both tests definitely scored higher on the ACT (Me: 2130/35, Friend1: 2270/36, Friend2: 1990/31, there are more... just don't know the exact numbers).</p>
