How to Know When to Take the SAT or ACT
To decide which test to take, compare your scores on a practice ACT and a practice SAT. You can compare those scores here.
The big questions to consider are:
- What math class are you taking as a sophomore?
- Are you going for National Merit consideration?
- Do you have a super busy fall semester?
- Is your ACT score reasonably close to your SAT score?
