SAT or ACT: Which Test Should I Take?

For the benefit of our students who are trying to answer this question, we teamed with the Princeton Review to offer Rosenblatt High School sophomores and juniors a FREE practice ACT.

Students who took the free practice test on Sunday, January 15^th, generally fell into one of these categories:

• Have already taken the PSAT and want to compare scores to find out which test will offer the best chance for success in standardized testing; or
• Have already taken the PSAT or SAT and hated the format, so the ACT may be the preferred test; or
• Really didn’t want to spend the money to take an official ACT yet but wanted to try it.

While it was a long and tiring day, the full-length practice test allowed students to practice under actual testing conditions and get comfortable with the exam format. It was a great opportunity to get realistic practice without taking an exam that officially ‘counts’ for college.

The next step is the 'scores back' session on Monday, February 13^th at 7:00 PM in which we will compare the 2016 PSAT and the results from this practice ACT for each individual student.  This should give our students the answer to the important question – SAT or ACT: Which Test Should I Take?
