Students and parents/guardians should research carefully which test is accepted or preferred at the universities and colleges to which they are applying; many accept both tests. Students may take the ACT up to 12 times and the SAT as many times as they want! It is recommended that students take each exam on back-to-back test dates and then later determine if they want to take the test again. Students generally take the tests two to four times; typically for the first time in their junior year, and the final time in their senior year. Students often do better on later tests and are evaluated based on their best scores.
