SAT or ACT?
While most colleges accept scores from either test, The SAT and ACT are significantly different and in many ways measure different skills. Check out the link below and talk with your school counselor to see which test is right for you.
SAT Subject Tests
SAT Subject Tests examine your knowledge in a particular area. Some schools and/or specific majors may require or recommend these tests. Your choice of subject should align with your strength.

This means that the information will be fresh in your mind and you will be well-prepared.
