SAT or ACT? Which do you prefer

<p>dear all,</p>

<p>So, I took the SAT and well, yeah, I pretty much flopped it...I got a 1680 (please, don't faint. life shall go on!...i started panicking both times i took it i don't know why i do i just go crazy). But, i did a little better on the ACT, and from previous practice tests, it shows i should get b/t a 28 and a 30 on the next ACT.</p>

<p>For one, is it better to submit the SAT or the ACT?</p>

<p>And for two, what is the avg. sat and act score at harvard?</p>

<p>and ok, for three, what is an "acceptable" sat subject test score?</p>

<p>thanks!!</p>

<p>I am personally fonder [is that a word?] of the SAT, and I have already gotten into a fight over this, but the GC's say that the ACT is intrepreted as an easy way out from those who don't do very well on the SAT's [but that's what they tell me, not what I know]. Also, I believe that the middle 50 for the old SAT was what 1400-1590 [don't know what it is with writing though I'd figure something like 700-790]. Also, I generally hear that breaking 700 on the SAT II's is good enough and a 750 would put you in really good shape. So good luck with everything :D</p>

<p>i'm a proponent of the ACT, because there is much less test prep needed for it, and it seems more well rounded. plus, it's a shorter test to take, by nearly an hour, which makes a difference.</p>
