Has anyone done substantially better on the SAT than on the ACT?

<p>My AP English teacher said, and I quote, “The SAT is WAY more difficult. Selective univertsities usually require it.” I had a dispute with him because I know both tests are weighted equally and it is VERY RARE when a school asks for a specific test! I let it go, though… But then my Pre-Calc teacher said the SAT math is harder and I was so agitated!! Lol. They just freak me out!!!
I know that some students do better on one over the other, which is why I want to take both… but according to these two teachers I should just take the ACT. Those monsters!! Lol. Anywho, I think I will ask my Gov’t teacher because he has been pushing me for Harvard, but I’m not sure if it’s for me… is it possible if he knows an alum and the alum knows a recruiter that they can boost my chances of admission?? Those are his plans, but I doubt it would help. Jaja…</p>
