Definitely take the SAT. If you took the ACT and did well, you'll probably do just as well on the SAT. What is there to lose?!? I would do it. :)

i think we should just forget about school and drop out. we all should become drug dealers in the streets like normal people do and hellp the economy for once in your life. i believe this will make president mccain happy for once.            

umm yeah no comment to tunahater ha ha, but seriously i just took my SAT like 3 times, and people actually clamied that the ACT was easier then the SAT, but i never took the ACT and now that im in college already i regret never takeing the ACT to this day because i could be at a better institution!

not to get technical, but it all depends on where you grew up because east and west coast schools gear their learning for the SAt and midwest schools gear their learning for the ACT. even though they may seem like they are the same the test different skills. but i agree that you have nothing to loose so you should just take it!

umm.....no... Take both it would show that your dedicated I guess...

i havent taken any should i take the act or the sat?

Hey...before you take both, look to see what the colleges you want to go to require. Most will accept the ACT so if that's the case, don't bother with the SAT. That's what my teacher for the ACT-SAT prep class told me. I'm going to take both, but only because I think the school i want to go to wants the SAT. Hope that helps.

PS...don't quit school and sell drugs like tunahater323 says. You'll find yourself in a mess of trouble of you listen to that. . :(

Girls sttistically do better on the ACT, I took the SAT and got the equivalent of a 23 onit, when I took the ACT I got a 29 after only studying half the book! Take both, and then whichever one feels easier and you do better on, take again and see if you can improve your score.

 Thanks for the help everybody!  I decided to take the SAT just to see how well I do.  I think I did pretty well, so if my scores are less good than my ACT scores, I don't think they will be terribly low.  But thanks for the help!  It was really useful!

i took both, but i like the act better

On the ACT, you get points taken off for unanswered questions. The SAT subtracts, I believe, a 1/4 of a point for each wrong answer and does not take off for unanswered questions.

You should without a doubt take the SAT. Who's to say you won't do even better. There are a lot of college that require an SAT score to apply.

Take the SAT........If you want to get into a good college.Take the SAT.

Good Luck!....Take the SAT!

I took both tests, and I did much better on the ACT than the SAT.  I thought the ACT was ridiculously easy, but colleges don't care about that.  They basically see the tests as equal, at least from the requirements I've seen.  Because of my ACT score, I got an auto-acceptance.

I hated the SAT.  You basically have to be a math-whiz to do "well."  If I had known that it would be so awful, I would have only taken the ACT, but I took the SAT first.  If you got above a 25, stick with it.  Save yourself.

 I took SAT twice have gotten admission from  two different schools but i needed a scholarship,how can i go about it.

You can apply for financial aid. That's always an option. Ask your school counselor about it.

Good Luck!

It's not necessarily a bad thing.  It can't hurt.  If you have already signed up then there is no point in NOT taking it.  You can always say you don't want your scores sent to the colleges.  Some colleges do require both SAT, ACT, and SAT II's, so check your college requirements and see if you do need both.
