Act?

<p>This is from the Barnard admissions website:</p>

Students applying Early Decision should take all required examinations by November. Regular Decision applicants should take all required examinations before January.

<p>So, yes, taking the test in early December is fine. </p>

<p>And here is a quote from this site (lots of info on the SAT vs ACT):</p>

Admissions officers and educators often describe the difference between SAT and ACT in these terms: the ACT is a content-based test, whereas the SAT tests critical thinking and problem solving. This perception is one reason many educators (off the record) express a preference for the ACT–because they believe that the ACT is closer to testing the “core curriculum” taught in most school classrooms. In fact, this contrast isn’t exactly watertight. Many questions on the ACT test critical thinking, and there is a predictable range of material that’s tested on the SAT. But the SAT and ACT reward different attributes, so performing well on each test can boil down to what kind of test taker you are.
