<p>All the UC's I'm applying to have either SAT or ACT required. Would it look any better if I actually took the ACT, or does it make little difference unless I had a better ACT score than SAT?</p>
<p>I'm just debating whether I should concentrate my last months prepping for SAT alone or both.</p>
<p>Just remember, either way you need the SAT II's.</p>
<p>I've taken the SAT II's once, and plan one more time in Dec. </p>
<p>Just wondering if schools like Calpoly, UCD, or UCSD would prefer to see ACT scores sent in as well?</p>
<p>Not really, they just look at the better of the 2. If you feel you may do better on the ACT, go for it. Otherwise, just prep for the SAT.</p>
<p>You might want to check out the formula for schools like UCSD. I wouldn't bother BEFORE you take it, but the SAT/ACT conversion chart seems trickier for UC than for other schools.</p>
<p>It really depends on which test you're more comfortable with.</p>
<p>Yeah, gotta agree with frutiaspice. How about you take a practise test for each, see which you score better in, and take the actual test for that one?</p>
<p>Alright, I've decided to concentrate on SAT I and II. =]</p>
