Should I take the SAT?

Test Preparation

<p>Hey! Thanks for reading!</p>

<p>So I took the ACT for my first time last fall and got a 34. I'm really happy with this, and all the colleges I'm applying to take either the ACT or SAT. However, my dad seems to think I should also take the SAT. I don't think I would be as good at the SAT based on what I know, and I don't really feel like studying really hard. I'm busy worrying about my applications now. Anyway, should I just decide not to take it? </p>

<p>Do colleges prefer a high ACT score and no SAT score, or a high ACT score and a lower SAT score.</p>

<p>If the ACT didn't have writing on it (and I assume it didn't since you took it in the fall), you're either going to need to take the new ACT or new SAT for most colleges.</p>

<p>Check with some of the colleges you will be applying to. If they accept your "old" ACT score (w/o writing), then I see no reason to take the SAT.</p>
