I’ve been doing a lot of research, and I cannot come across a straight answer. I would prefer the SAT, but I am fine doing either one, but I don’t know which test schools prefer the most.
Schools don’t prefer either test over the other, that’s why they accept both. So, if you feel more comfortable taking the SAT, take the SAT. My suggestion though is to take both if you can and see which one you’re more comfortable with sending.
Colleges generally accept either.
If you try old released tests for both under test conditions, you may get an idea of which one you personally will do better on.
There is a published concordance or equivalency table from both ACT and SAT vendors, although it is possible that some colleges have different equivalencies (as the CSUs in California appear to have based on their eligibility tables).
Colleges prefer the test that you can ace. Think about it, the higher their applicant’s test scores, the better that they look.
doesn’t matter
