[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best way to find out is give your DC sample tests - one SAT using SAT Blue Book (by College Book) and one ACT from ACT Red Book and compare how your DC performs. These are real retired tests so it will give you a real good indicator on whether one test is preferred for your child.

Most schools will let you skip SAT II requirements if you submit ACT with writing (essay). I have three kids - one did equally well with both (36/2340); middle one was ACT kid (35/2150 or so); and third one (current HS senior) is another ACT (35/2230). Good luck.  [/quote]

oh, please those SAT scores are good and you know it.  Hubble brag.[/quote]

Sorry, if it came out that way. I didn't mean to brag. I have better things to do than bragging about my kids to total strangers using anonymous post... But if I sounded like that, I am sorry.

My point, however, is still valid (I think). If you want "big" (and I define "big" as anything more than "token" merit scholarship), your kiddo will need high scores than my kids SAT scores. If we were to send in S2 and D's SAT score instead of ACT, I am certain they won't get anything from UMD. The fact of matter is there are SOOOO many kids with high stats now days. My kids scores are good to get in, but not good for the money.  :) [/quote]
