SAT or ACT?

Should I take the SAT or the ACT? There isn’t one right answer. It is recommended all students take both to determine which is the correct fit—for them. To help them choose, Kaplan is hosting free practice tests that allow attendees to try every section on both tests and see which is right for them.
