While SAT vs. ACT preference is university dependent, in the state of Texas, there was more of an emphasis on SAT than ACT when my children applied to state schools.

Hi Tyler:
Thank you for your question. As others have shared some great advice, I'd like to chime in on my perspective for your consideration. When my young adults were in college they took both tests, SAT & ACT. That way, no matter what school they applied to they were covered on both exams. They got into the college of their choice on the first round. Regarding the schools you want to apply to, you might want to check with the college admissions office and/or visit their website to see what their requirements are (SAT vs ACT). Best of luck to you!

Hi Sam,
Most colleges typically accept both test's scores. I would recommend taking both tests, and submitting the scores of whichever test you did better in. Since the tests are different in structure and question subjects, its common that you will do better in one test over the other. It's also important to know for sure that the colleges you're applying to accept both test scores versus one or the other.
Best of luck!

Hello Tyler,
It 's not really the case that one test is more important than the other. It's just that you need to take the test that is required by the college/university for admission. So for example if the university requires SAT scores, then you must take the SAT exam.
