Hello,
So I’m a HS junior and I’ve been looking more into the ACT and SAT.
So as I’ve been learning about both, I’m leaning more towards the SAT. I understand that a lot of colleges want 2 SAT II’s if you send them the SAT, or just the ACT if that’s what you want to submit.
The plan I have right now is to take both. I think that taking the ACT would back me up although I plan on taking 2 SAT II’s(Biology and Chemistry). Taking the ACT would also fulfill a state requirement in order to receive my diploma(The other way I could achieve it is by taking a state test).
Schedule-wise, I’m thinking about preparing for a month(with a test prep book) and taking the ACT. After that, I’d prepare for another month(again with a test prep book) and take the March SAT(since my HS gives the SAT for free for all juniors at this time). Then afterward I would decide which one worked better for me and sign up for a prep course to take the June test.
Is this a good plan? Are there any dangers here that I should be aware of? Opinions?
