All 3 of our children took both. It was not really a big deal for them and they certainly didn't complain or have any problems doing both. It did involve prep specific to each test, though. Each child ended up using the SAT scores (because that was the score preferred by the ED school) but it was good to have the ACT scores as back-up.
My preconception still stands that the ACT is used more in the Mid-West while the SAT is the preferred for the East and West coasts. I hear that more and more schools are moving to accepting either/both. We felt that having both scores gave our children flexibility as they narrowed down their school preferences.
There is not one school on the East ad West coasts that I am aware of that does not take or prefers one test over the other. Please provide the link for schools on the East and West coasts that 'prefer' the SAT.
Snark at me and I'll snark right back. Our three children are, between them, at 2 HYPs. They all went ED. We asked which test(s) would be better and we did what we were advised. You want a link to schools, figure it out.
If you feel that your child should only take and submit the ACT score (or only take and submit the SAT score(s) for that matter) then that is your choice. But don't attack me because of your insecurities about it.
In the future you might want to consider the old adage 'you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar'. I am usually very happy to discuss our experiences and share our lessons learned. But I will not stand for being attacked and I will not help people who are rude. I am done responding and will not be returning to this thread. Flame away.
