Which test does CTY recommend-the SAT or the ACT?

CTY Talent Search -- Frequently Asked Questions
We don't recommend one test (SAT or ACT) over the other. Both tests are acceptable for purposes of the CTY Talent Search in that both tests measure learned abilities. The scores needed on either the SAT or ACT to qualify for Summer Programs or Distance Education have been set such that neither test provides an advantage or disadvantage.

Why should I take the SAT or ACT test?

FAQs, Midwest Academic Talent Search, Center for Talent Deve...
Not every student should take the ACT or the SAT, but these tests have a long track record as good measures of academic talent. MATS uses these challenging tests because they are often more appropriate for academically talented students than standardized tests designed for their age group. In fact, between a quarter and a third of these students score as well as or better than the average college-bound high school senior.

Is the SAT/ACT test required?

FAQs
Yes. Standardized test scores are an important part of your application for admission, but they are only one part of your application. Each major has established requirements. For example, the School of Business and Engineering place more of an emphasis on the math SAT than most of the majors in the School of Arts and Sciences. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions.

Should I do test prep for the SAT or ACT?

Hawken School: Upper School College Counseling
It is always a good idea to prepare for standardized tests. Before deciding what type of preparation is best, students should do some self-examination. Some self-directed students do very well by buying a book of practice tests and taking them on their own. Other students need the enforced discipline of attending a class. While it has been proven that preparation and familiarity with standardized tests do improve students' scores, one method of preparation is not necessarily better than another.
