SAT Scores?

paleo, operative word is Midwesterner. We take the ACT because we're more awesome than you crazy east- and west- coasters

Yeah, what she said. (I'm assuming z is a female)
Most Midwesterners like to take the ACT, and most Midwestern schools also "prefer" the ACT, while most coastal schools prefer the SAT (or both).

You assume incorrectly >.>

[illusionist]

Really?!?!? I'm so sorry

[Kokonilly]

Is one generally considered easier?

I did much better on the ACT than the SAT, in general (well, SAT scores aren't back yet).

I think I'll take both at some point- or is there a law against that?

-_- Of course not.

Most Midwesterners like to take the ACT, and most Midwestern schools also "prefer" the ACT, while most coastal schools prefer the SAT (or both).

Incorrect. Every 4-year college in the USA accepts both, and all claim to have no preference. The difference between them is that the SAT tests reasoning and the ACT tests knowledge. However, you should just turn in whichever score is better - most schools don't care.

EDIT: It is true that the ACT is more common in the Midwest, and the SAT is more common on the coasts. But that's just a regional thing and actually has no basis on admissions.

Sorry for the wrong info. That was just what I heard from a counselor last year. I didn't know about the "claim to have no preference" thing.

Yeahhh, i do so much better on ACT, so imma use that one for applying for stuff... And why is there regional preference? haha, odd...

I assume because, in general, people on the coasts are more awesome.

Although, this guy is an exception. He is AWESOME!

At first I didn't get that because I thought it had something to do with insulting Jerry Moran (Senator from Kansas). But haha, that's a classic photo.

How do you know that Jerry Moran is a Kansas senator when I when I've never heard of him?
