The majority of those high school students who are in states that mostly take the SAT may believe that the SAT is valued more. The majority of those high school students in states that mostly take the ACT may believe that the ACT is valued more. Neither is correct. They are treated alike . Neither a 2370 nor a 2400 SAT is considered better than a 36 and vice versa. The thought process that too many students have is skewed, in that they believe minor differences in test scores have great significance. If you have a 35 or 36 ACT or 2350 or 2400 SAT, admissions officers do not spend any time wondering if one score is better than another. Those are all extremely high scores that meet what any admissions officer would consider as the highest but you need a lot more than test scores to get admitted and grades and course difficulty are a more important factor.
