The fact that you can submit either test may surprise you since you may have only heard about one test or the other. • We cannot easily advise you about which test to take, but here are some differences between the ACT and SAT. Speak with your School Counselor to determine which test would be a better measure of your strengths and preparation for university studies. • ACT • The ACT covers four areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. The ACT Composite score is used for admission to the CSU. • SAT • The SAT consists of three sections: Critical Reading, Math, and Writing. Scores from Critical Reading and Math are added and used for admission to the CSU. Scores from the Writing section will not be used for admission purposes to the CSU. • Visit www.collegeboard.com to learn more about the SAT tests and to register online to take the SAT test.
