What is the difference between the SAT & ACT?
Both the SAT and ACT are college placement tests and used in the same way. EVERY college and university WILL ACCEPT BOTH scores. They have different test designs - meaning they ask questions in a different way. Because of this, sometimes some students may perform better on one test than the other. It might be worth the effort to take both tests and see if you perform better on one, and submit that score. Your school counselor will be able to assist you on best options of which scores to send and when to go test optional.
