SAT vs ACT Prep

SAT vs ACT Prep

DOUBLE800 offers SAT and PSAT preparation, but does not offer ACT prep. While every college and university will accept either test for admission, the SAT is much more of a "coachable" test that is conducive to significant score improvement. Some students may inherently score better the ACT, but scores typically remain static, even after preparing for the ACT.

Additional Advantages of Preparing for (and Taking) the SAT and PSAT:

SAT is aligned with Common Core State Standards Initiative, adopted by 42 US States and the District of Columbia.

SAT Essay is aligned with The DBQ Project standards.

SAT is required by Illinois State Board of Education for all grade 11 students in public high schools as the state assessment exam (scores are entered on student's transcript), and the exam also can be used for college applications:
