Students and parents often ask this question. Here are some links that will help students in determining the best choice for them.
It is recommended that students take both the SAT and the ACT in the Fall of their Senior year (or in the Spring of their Junior year).
When scores are returned, if students feel they would like to improve their score (often leading to more money from the school They are attending) students should re-take the test they scored the highest on.
