ACT vs. SAT: Which test should you take?

Posted on October 24th, 2014

Preparing for college means buckling down and studying for those dreaded standardized tests. But should you take the SAT or ACT?

Some students are better suited for the SAT because it focuses on critical reasoning, while other students benefit from the ACT’s science section.

The best thing you can do is to take both and see where your score falls–you never know which one is better for you until you take the test.

Keep in mind, though, that depending on which college you apply to, the school might prefer one or the other, so it’s a good idea to check the college’s website when deciding which scores to submit.

Check out the infographic below from Bench Prep to figure out which test is best for you.
