What Ardiendo Teaches that Isn’t on the ACT or SAT
I was recently sitting with a student working through an ACT math practice section. She was scoring in the high teens on math. She knew she was capable of more than that, but she didn't believe it… and she hadn't believed it for a long time.
Watching her work, I noticed something. She actually knew more than her score was reflecting. Something else was in the way. So I paused the session.
Can I Take Both the ACT and SAT?
The short answer: Yes! (But you should only take each once, at least to start…)
The slightly longer answer: Colleges accept either test. They do not prefer one over the other, and you should send whichever one is stronger for you. So, the real question isn’t whether you can take both, but whether you should.
When Should You Start Preparing for the SAT or ACT?
