Free SAT and ACT Comparison Test in Newton

NEWTON, MA – Chyten Educational Services will offer a free SAT vs. ACT comparison test in Newton next month as the college prep season nears.

The free test offering comes as many colleges and universities have begun accepting both SAT and ACT scores, with the ACT gaining a foothold the eastern and western schools. This change in the college acceptance standard has left students wondering which test best matches their academic abilities.

"Choosing the right test can make an enormous impact on a student’s future, as each test favors a particular type of student," Neil Chyten, founder and president of Chyten Educational, said in a release. "Our goal is to help students understand which test is best for them, and then to provide them with the tools and experience needed to excel at it."

Following the comparison assessment, Chyten will provide students with its Magnostic Diagnostic report that breaks down test taking performance and psychometric test taking behaviors into close to 100 categories, giving students the tools to improve.

The free test will be held Saturday, Sep. 10 at 8:45 a.m. at Chyten's Newton branch, 858 Walnut St. Students must register at least two days in advance at www.chyten.com or by calling 800-428-TEST (8378).
