SAT or ACT? Which is better for ADHD kids?

My son has the inattentive form of ADHD. He took the SAT and ACT prior to diagnosis. He got a 1230 on the SAT and a 32 ACT. His comment to me (and it was the one that finally got my attention about him possibly having ADHD) was the reason he did better on the ACT is it required less prolonged concentration. I have no idea if that’s true. I suspect every kid is different and it’s definitely worth having them take both.
