SAT vs. ACT-Which should I take?

<p>I am a junior and I need to take either the ACT and SAT this year. I hear there a lot of differences between the two. If I am a stronger History, English, and Language student, which test would be the better one for me to take? Or should I take both?</p>

<p>The general rule has always been that students who have higher verbal skills do better on the SAT. Students with a higher math aptitude preform better on the ACT.</p>

<p>However, you should take both: <a href="http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/act_vs_sat.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/act_vs_sat.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Huh? I've never heard such a 'rule' but I agree, take both and use whichever one you like better. </p>

<p>btw: the 'Science' section on the ACT is anything but science. It's primarily reading and interpreting graphs and tables.</p>

<p>fwiw: if you don't fill in your HS code when you sign up for the ACT you and you alone will receive the score report.</p>
