Should my child try both the SAT and ACT before deciding which one to take?

Yes, taking diagnostic practice tests for both exams is the best way to determine which test is the right fit. While some students naturally align with the SAT because of its focus on algebra and critical reading, others thrive on the ACT’s quick pacing and data-driven questions. For Luxembourg students, where local curricula may emphasize different skills, only a full practice under timed conditions reveals how comfortable your child is with each exam. At Cardinal Education, we provide realistic diagnostic tests and detailed score analyses. This helps families make informed decisions, ensuring prep time is spent on the exam most likely to produce the highest score.
