Some students are opting for the SAT over the ACT
because they mistakenly believe that the College Board’s exam is favored
by colleges.
A survey of Kaplan SAT students found that one-third thought that colleges accepted the College Board’s SAT exam results more than the American College Test (ACT). Both tests help colleges to determine an applicant’s readiness for college, but the SAT is more popular in the eastern United States while the ACT is more popular in the western and southern parts of the country.
That probably explains the primary reason for the regional disparity in America: peer influence. One of the surveys conducted reveal that 27 percent of SAT test participant admitted that they were taking test as their friends were taking the same test. Paul Weeks, vice president of client relations for ACT, Inc. confirms this in an email: “Test-taking patterns and behaviors are regional and can be impacted by different influencers ranging from peers to parents. There are still many myths and misrepresentations out there, but we’re glad to see them diminishing.”
The tide is changing because the ACT has surpassed the SAT in recent years and “is now the most popular college-entrance exam.” The myth has been dispelled: “…all four-year U.S. colleges equally accept results of an ACT or SAT exam for consideration in the admissions process.”
