<p>Should I take both?</p>

<p>My SAT= 1900s-2100s
My ACT= 29-30s</p>

<p>I’m studying for both, but what do you think? Which looks better? Should I study both?</p>

<p>West is pretty ACT heavy. Honestly, it doesn’t matter as most colleges take both and consider them equally.</p>

<p>Since your percentages are the similar in both tests, it is up to you like people have been saying. Studying for the SAT is mainly about learning tricks to beat the test. Studying for the ACT is more about learning the content.</p>
