Deciding between the two… any advice which path I should go? i do not want to take both because that is too much money for me, I am a senior so this will be my last time taking these tests (I have taken SAT before, but not ACT)

SAT in October:
pros:

lots more time to prepare

more familiar with the test

cons:

senior year so it will be super hectic at that time with college applications and classes

ACT in September:
pros:

less hectic schedule around that time

cons:

less time to study

less familiar with the test
