Should I take the SAT or the ACT?

The SAT  is more fit for students who are slow test-takers and are not strong readers because it is easier to get extra time and there are shorter passages and reading sections. The ACT, on the other hand, has easier questions but there is much less time per question. It also has a more advantageous rounding system making it easier to get higher scores. In general, universities don’t care whether they receive an SAT or ACT. They care about the percentiles and if the subsection scores make sense in the major you are applying for. So take practice tests on both to see which test aligns with your strengths and test-taking style and then in a comprehensive one-on-one test prep program where you will not only learn the subjects, but test-taking strategies as well.
