<p>@desie1 - I couldn’t agree more!
@blueturtle09 - I really think you are putting the cart before the horse. Check with the colleges you are thinking of applying to, but usually only the really selective schools require the SAT 2. You really can’t afford to worry about the SAT 2 now because you cannot be doing the things you need to do to get into a top university when you have an SAT score that could keep you out of a decent university (I say this assuming you don’t have anything out of this world) on your application that makes up for it). </p>
<p>You also, as desie1 said, don’t need to take both the SAT and the ACT. Take a full-length, timed practice test (after having familiarized with the basics of both exams). You really need to prioritize. You need to take a mock exam today for the SAT and another for the ACT the next day. You must do this today, the registration deadlines are days away:</p>

<a href=“ACT Registration | ACT Testing Dates | The ACT Test”>ACT Registration | ACT Testing Dates | The ACT Test;
<p>As to your questions about what scores a college will accept, what colleges are you looking at (don’t even think about this one until you’ve first registered for the SAT and the ACT)?</p>
