A very thorough resource

ACT OR SAT? CHOOSING THE RIGHT EXAM FOR YOU should be in the collections of any high school library with college-bound students. It provides students with a personality quiz tied to a practice exam that includes sample ACT and SAT sections, providing students with clear options and guidance on which standardized test to take for college. Parents will also find it clearly explains what's on each test and how admissions offices view the scores: a key to college entry.

A Must Read for High School Students

The author has provided students, guidance counselors, and parents with an insiders view of the real differences in these two college admission tests. He has written in language appealing to teenagers, yet informative for professionals. This book is an enormously helpful guide to deciding which test best matches an individual student's learning and test-taking style. As both a Director of Student Services and a parent, I highly recommend it.
