Guided SAT vs. ACT Choice Assistance
Depending on what part of the United States you live in, you may be more familiar with the SAT than the ACT or vice versa. In New York State, where Curvebreakers is located, the SAT is the dominant choice. According to an article on niche.com from March 2023, 88% of students in New York took the SAT and 12% took the ACT. Compare that to Michigan where 25% of students took the SAT and 75% took the ACT.
“Just because your friends are preparing for the SAT, doesn’t mean you have to too.”
For many years now, colleges and universities have equally accepted scores from either exam. There is no evidence to suggest that one test is favored over the other by college admissions officers, making the best course of action to pick the exam you naturally perform better on.
Curvebreakers helps students select the exam through a process referred to as Guided SAT vs. ACT Choice Assistance.
Step 1
Take diagnostic SAT and ACT practice tests
Diagnostic tests are tests that include an analysis of the student's performance in the score report. More than just the providing section and cumulative scores, a diagnostic analysis offers actionable insights that students can use on their own or with a tutor to improve their score.
Need to take one or both diagnostic practice tests? Diagnostic practice tests can be taken in our office or at home. Call the office at (516) 728-1561 or email us to get started.
Step 2
Schedule a Consultation
After obtaining SAT and ACT scores for comparison, we encourage students to schedule a consultation involving both parents and the owner of Curvebreakers. This meeting serves as an opportunity to delve into the student's college aspirations, academic profile, and collectively decide on the most suitable test for focused preparation. It is the perfect opportunity for parents to ask questions about the college application process and whether or not to submit test scores.
