[nabs-l] SAT/ACT

[Sophie Trist]

Nesma, I've taken the ACT four times and the PSAT once. The 
difference in the tests ir primarily in the way they're written. 
In the ACT, you start off with an English section, then move to a 
reading section, then Math, then science. The SAT switches 
around. It has a math, then an english, then another math. The 
SAT sections are shorter though. I've noticed (and this by means 
applies across the board) that schools in the south tend to take 
the ACT while those in the north and west tend to go for the SAT. 
A lot of schools now accept both, so you can just choose which 
style you prefer. I preferred the style of the ACT, because my 
brain didn't like switching rapidly between subjects. The main 
reason I took the PSAT my junior year was because if you score 
high enough on that test, you can potentially win a National 
Merit scholarship. Hope this helps.
