The ACT at a Glance
Like the SAT, the ACT is a nationally administered, standardized paper-and-pencil test that helps colleges evaluate candidates. Colleges now accept your ACT or SAT scores interchangeable. This means that you have the opportunity to decide on which test you’ll perform better. And in many cases, students prepare for and take both exams. Is the ACT or SAT better for you?
Generally, you’ll take the ACT for the first time in the spring of your junior year. This allows you to reserve the summer months for college applications or enough time to re-take the test during the fall of your senior year if you’re not satisfied with your score.
