This almost seems like a no-brainer to me. Since almost every college accepts both the SAT and the ACT, why wouldn't you take both and then submit your best test score? We've always encouraged our students to take both tests, so I guess the rest of the world is catching up with us.
However, what will those tests look like in the future? The College Board is currently redesigning the SAT to get rid of arcane vocabulary, and the math sections will "be about being able to explain, and see, the applications of this math.” Meanwhile, the ACT, the more curriculum based test of the two, is experimenting with an on-line version of the test and may include more "creative, hands-on questions."
So if you're a high school freshman, your standardized test might not look the same as the current one. Stay tuned.
