ACT or SAT?
Deciding to focus on the SAT or on the ACT was the first decision most 11th graders needed to make as they began their college admission testing journey. When the SAT changed to a curriculum based test in March of 2016, the two tests became so similar that students no longer need to worry about which test is best for them!
Our staff studied the results of the three actual sittings of the SAT, our analysis led us to develop our combined ACT/ SAT curriculum. Here is the process Academic Journeys expects most of our students to follow for admissions testing:
-
Start with an Actual Conditions Test.
-
Family meeting to review results and create a testing plan.
-
Begin prep ahead of the chosen test dates.
-
Take the ACT and the SAT.
-
Family meeting to review the results of both real tests and update the testing plan.
There are a couple of exceptions which we will be happy to discuss, but for most students, not having to choose one test over the other means one less thing to worry about as their high school career nears the finish line!
