College Confidential - View Single Post - Honestly, though, is the ACT weighed the same as the SAT?

Look, I think that the SAT is harder/superior to the ACT. Additionally, it is clear that most colleges see that because they superscore the SAT and not the SAT. Yes, a your superscored SAT score is probably viewed equally to your ACT. However, an SAT score that is taken in one sitting probably viewed more highly than its corresponding ACT score. I have not stats to prove it, but I mean it just makes sense. For example, I got a 2340 on my only SAT and I think that will look better than a superscored 2360 or a 35 on the ACT....but thats just my opinion.
