<p>This must be one of the most enjoyable threads i’ve ever read. I simply have to state my beliefs toward the matter at hand. </p>
<p>Well, first of all, we should all try our best to be unbiased. Statements like the “ACT is essier than the SAT” and " a 36 ACT doesn’t equal a 2400 SAT" without any proof to back up such statments emmidiately shows how you guys “feel” and tells me that you aren’t percieving things the way thigns are. </p>
<p>We must also look at this matter clearly. The ACT does not test the same skills as the SAT. But this goes both ways. The SAT also doesn’t test some skills in the ACT. </p>
<p>Colleges “paint a picture” of you based on your GPA, rigor in highschool, standardized test scores (ACT & SAT), letters of recommendations, Outside activities, ect. They treat basically each of these considerations for admission as a “color”. Get the right colors and shades to form the best “picture”. Thats about it. </p>
<p>Now i’m not saying that your “picture” or “portrait” should be what you think colleges want you to be; you should be yourself.</p>
<p>So your SAT or ACT needs to work with the rest of your application.</p>
