Do you really need the ACT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I’ve taken the SAT, and I’m pretty happy with my score. I’ve also taken several SATII’s that I am happy with. So do you really need the ACT? Would it help to have it on an application?</p>

<p>I guess the question can work the other way. If one has a good ACT and a couple Subject Tests, is the SAT Reasoning Test necessary? It seems like everyone on CC has taken both, but it’s not like it’s required.</p>

<p>To put it simply, no.</p>

<p>Who knows, you might do even better! I was ok with my SAT score, but decided to take the ACT anyways and am so glad I did.</p>

<p>Ok thanks. I just want to avoid the whole process really.</p>

<p>i’ve heard people tend to do better on the ACT, so
if you’ve taken a practice version you should be able to tell (on the act explore i think i did better than the PSAT)</p>

<p>on the other hand i also want to avoid the process and my SAT scores are fine and i am incredibly lazy</p>
