SAT or ACT? How to Decide | The Princeton Review

The makers of the SAT and ACT have promised to make both tests available to students in the fall-in person and/or online. Taking one of these exams can help give you an edge when you apply for admission and financial aid. To figure out which one you should invest time in, you'll need to consider personal preference as well as audience. Our Editor-in-Chief Rob Franek breaks it all down in this video.

[@AlianaGrande111]

[@ThePrincetonReview]

Thrilled to hear it - and good luck! We are cheering you on.

[@ionixorca5719]

Thanks!
I’ll be looking forward to the SAT

[@uniique_xo]

I'm definitely doing the SAT😬

[@s.a.4397]

Thank you!!!

[@aarohanyt7374]

everything that favours my application seems to lean towards SAT but since its more popular than ACT , i am worried that it will be buried under other apllicant's great scores

[@r.k16]

thank u it was useful

[@jademadrid7218]

Where could I get a study guide?

[@TheMandolinShow]

I'm sorry, you CANNOT tell me that this aint Tom Kenny! 🤣🤣

[@bvskp7536]

what if Universities or Colleges require both? Is that possible?

[@abdulrahmanz9768]

I don’t think their are any that do

[@Chapo992]

I'm into Information Technology but I dont like maths,i can do maths but i just dislike it,I'm more of a english and science type of person,which would you recommend?

[@Holdyourhandwhiledancing]

Definitely the ACT. There are both science and English sections. The math section for the SAT is 50% whereas the act is distributed 33% each section. This gives you more room to perhaps not do as good in the math section

[@heartcomedy5]

How about both?

[@dred4dead551]

You can if you want to, but I find it too stressful to study for two different exams. Plus with the costs, it might not be as possible.

[@omkaar1886]

@@dred4dead551 you can still do both. Just to see what u do better at. Also, with superscoring, it's easier to super score in one test over the other usually. And, the act has changes so it's worth taking. Try both there's nothing wrong. If you can't afford it, u get a fee waiver.

[@dazedheart9006]

Considering my Anatomy final had 190 questions I had to do in the span of 2 hours the SAT actually sounds relatively easy. I’m saying this completely clueless btw 😂😂😂😂
(I finished the final in 1h30)

[@raptor1272]

I personally like the sat better

[@matthewsanchez4207]

Neither cause my colleges dont need it no more 😂

[@briankiser3227]

That is sad. I am sorry

[@codythedoggo7671]

​@@briankiser3227 that is good, because standardized testing is really horrible for students

[@gdwwt8303]

hey i scored 1500 on my first sat attempt! should I try act?

[@lachlanmclane2149]

You’re probably good. You could try though if you want. You can just ignore it if it’s bad.

[@briankiser3227]

Great job

[@hooreainamjid3123]

How?

[@frank33607]

Plus, it’s a Chinese company.

[@welcome2wyzard]

Neither because they don't matter

[@RFJersey]

Of course they do!!!
