From what I’m reading online I may be required to submit SAT and/or ACT scores to UCF and UF when applying for a transfer to the College of Education. I’ll have an AA degree when I transfer so they won’t need any high school transcripts but apparently if I want an Education major I need to have scores from either the SAT’s or ACT’s. I never took either of them because I got my GED. Is it possible to take the SAT and ACT now even though I’m long out of high school? and if it’s possible, where can I take the tests?
Another few questions:
What’s the difference between the SAT and ACT, is one of them easier than the other?
What kind of questions can I expect?
Since I’ve already taken my english and math classes in college and passed with A’s do you think taking the SAT and ACT will be easier for me now since I’ve learned more? thanks!
Do you plan on participating in the ProTeach programs? Or do you only intend to complete a bachelor’s degree only? The proTeach program requires the SAT/ACT, but the standard Bachelor’s may not.

Anyone can take the SAT and ACT. Go to Collegeboard’s official site to look up locations where you can take the SAT, and do the same for the ACT. As for the questions to expect, I’d advise you check the websites. I’m not entirely sure if your college courses will help you score higher on the SAT or ACT, although I suspect the ACT will be easier, as some of it is interpreting and using “common” sense. SAT’s are harder to take “Cold” (without prep) in my opinion.
You need to check if they require the SAT or ACT from someone with an AA. The schools may not allow a college student to take the tests since they are “designed” for HS students.
I see that it may be of benefit to be able to take it, but I am not sure if it would be allowed. I think that if you were being an act tutor in college it may be of benefit to take it to see how to best teach your students.
