Should I take the ACTs?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I've never really thought about taking the ACTs at all until recently when my guidance counseler recommended me to. I had gotten a 30 out of 32 on the PLAN (PLAN is to ACT as PSAT is to SAT) test September of last year without studying (whereas I crammed for the PSATs) and got like a 32 on the science section that I thought I had done terrible on. </p>

<p>I've got a lot of things slated though, various SAT IIs in January, May, and June, and the SAT I in March, so I don't know if it's a good idea to commit time to studying for the ACT.</p>

<p>Yes. If you do poorly, colleges will never know because you get to choose whether to send it or not. If I were you, I'd take it in June. Even if you don't study you should still take it, consider thePLAN scores you got. Really, it could be well worth your while.</p>

<p>That is, unless you're amazing at the SAT.</p>

<p>im done with all my tests (never considered ACT, i was always a SAT person), but do colleges have any preferance or bias?</p>
