Should I take the ACT or SAT?

Now that you know how your scores convert, how do you decide which test to take? 

First, whichever test you decide to take, make sure you take it at least four times. You don’t get your best score your first time! You’ll want to invest the time and effort to really become comfortable with the test so you can get your highest possible score. 

If you aren’t sure which test will be best for you or if your scores are similar, understand the differences between the two tests, including their timing and their sections. If you still don’t have a clear winner, just pick whichever one you happen to prefer, and run with it! Focus your efforts on that test and see how much you can improve your score.

A great way to do that? With the help of ACT or SAT test prep. Learn more about our online courses or one-on-one tutoring to see how you can jump your score on either test!
