Answer 2

Almost every school I applied to took both the ACT and SAT. I'm in the midwest so the ACT is far more popular and it's what I took. Honestly its just a morning taking a test.

There are multiple testing dates for both test sunless this program requires you use a specific one.

I would recommend you take the test and see how you do. If you score low - you're young! These are meant to evaluate knowledge gained in high school - so nothing is lost! If you score high then it sounds like an awesome experience to take advantage of.

To prepare I would suggest taking a full length practice exam. This will help you get used to the format, know what to expect, and understand what you need to focus on. These are probably available from your school guidance counselor.

There are all kinds of old tests, ACT prep books, and so on. Work on everything for 30 minutes to an hour each day instead of trying to cram. This test IS one that you can study for.

Also - don't worry how your first score comes out. I scored a 22 the first time I took it as a middle schooler and the second time i took it I got a 27 - so there can be a big points jump
