Question #46:

I am a senior and have not yet taken the SAT IIs. My college of choice requires 3 SAT IIs but will accept ACTs instead. What should I do ?

Answer #46:

Only you can tell which format is easier for you. Try to see a sample ACT test and look through some books which have SAT II practice tests. If you think you could do better with Math, English with Composition and a third SAT II of your choice, go that way. But, if you think you can handle all the sections on the ACT, choose that. Both tests address acquired knowledge, but the SAT IIs are more specific, while the ACT covers the full curriculum. You can compare the prices of test prep books and software available on the Internet by using the power specialized search engine available through the EDUFAX site [free]. EDUFAX provides Verbal Test Prep Tutorials (PSAT/SAT I/SAT II/ACT).
