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.  [/quote]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.[/quote]

NP - colleges don't prefer one over the other. colleges don't ask for both either - providing ACT w/ writing.[/quote]
