SAT or ACT

hello! i have read through the UVA website and noticed that it says something about taking both the SAT and ACT. Then I see it saying to send in SAT or ACT scores. I just need clarification if I need to take one or both of them to get into UVA.

Sorry If it says it on the website, I may have missed it.

Most colleges will take either, and will base admission on whichever score is higher - I assume UVa still does. Many people recommend taking both, because they are different.

As of a few years ago, ACT was usually best for people who are good at science and SAT was best for people who are good at math. It may have changed.
