[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't mention ACT.  I'm sure the colleges will take a similar ACT, right?
They are not the same.  It was explained to me that 50% do the same on both, 25% have a natural proclivity for ACT and 25% have a natural proclivity for SAT.  The SAT has a non-calculator math section that can impede a group of kids.  Plus the SAT reading requires a good test-taker and some are better than others.  The ACT on the other hand, is very time pressured, and this can be a problem.  Do timed sittings of both at a test prep place.  Find your best test - and then put all your efforts into that format.
I had a kid who got a 1400 on SAT (barely) but never got close in ACT terms.

Me again - also I was told the ACT reading has all the answers right there - it's a matter of finding the best one.  The SAT requires more inferences. [/quote]

I don't know ACT, but SAT English has lots of "what is the person opinion of the test author" which makes it very hard to get an 800 without being an expert in psychology of test writers. 
Authors whose work is used in SAT hate the SAT. [/quote]
