The ACT
on: August 01, 2012, 09:44:08 PM
For those of you who did take it, why did you prefer it over the SAT?

Myself, I prefer it because it's more straightforward. But a perfect score is going to be impossible, because unlike the SAT, it requires literally 100% of all answers correct. Not that I'm ever going to get a perfect score anyways, because perfection is unattainable for me. :P

I took the ACT but I prefer the SAT

Some people don't listen to the instructions during the SAT so they don't know that you get points taken off if you get the wrong answer.  That means people will answer the question even though they don't know it which = lower scores for them which = higher scores for me because I know what I'm doing which = which = less competition for me.
