The ACT is an important part of college admissions. Most schools require their applicants to submit either SAT or ACT scores, but no school will mandate which particular test to takethey just want to see good scores. For a long time, different schools would accept only one or the other. If you wanted to apply to schools in the Midwest, you took the ACT, but if you wanted to apply to schools on the East or West Coast, you took the SAT.

For more on admissions, see The Princeton Reviews The Best 384 Colleges or visit our website, PrincetonReview.com

The good news is that these rules are obsolete. All schools that require a standardized test will take either the ACT or SAT.

This is good news indeed for test takers. While there are many similarities between the two tests, many students find they do better on one than on the other. The expert advice of The Princeton Review is to take whichever test you do better on. While you can certainly take both, you should focus your efforts on one for substantive score improvement. True improvement takes hard work, and it can be tough to become an expert on both tests. And since schools will accept scores for either one, you wont win any brownie points for punishing yourself.

Since you bought this book, we assume youve already made the decision to boost your ACT score. This book provides a strategic and efficient way to improve your scores, specifically on English and Reading. For a more thorough review of content and exhaustive practice, we recommend Cracking the ACT and 1,511 ACT Practice Questions.
