My son (a 12th grader) has JMU in his top 3 choices. He did not dazzle on his SAT scores, so his guidance counselor suggested him taking ACTs. I just got him registered for Oct. His counselor said there is quite a difference in the 2 tests and usually if you don’t do well on one, you do better on other. Anyone find that true? And if so, what did you find was difference?
