I signed up for the September ACT along with the October SAT last year and ended up just using my SATs. I felt taking the ACT was a waste of time and I think the best strategy is to just focus on one and maximize your score. If you’re doing comparable on both, take the SAT. If most people in your region take the ACT, then take the ACT. If you’re doing much better on one than the other, then do that one. Sending both with high scores won’t be a huge deal since your score is already high.
