"In November 2007 The New York Times published "SAT vs. ACT," an article whose title aptly suggested the new competitive status of the American College Test in relation to the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Comparisons of the two standardized college-entrance exams reflected the recently elevated rank on the East and on the West Coasts of the ACT, which for many years had been considered a regional version of the SAT, reserved primarily for students applying to colleges from high schools in Mid-western states. The article acknowledged the ACT's rapidly growing popularity and noted several strategies--for example, determining whether you're an underachiever or an overachiever--for choosing the "correct" test to take, and concludes: "choose the test you think you'll do better on" because "your performance is less likely to be impaired." Since the article's publication, the ACT has continued to gain in popularity, leaving college admission obsessed families yearning for clearer and more detailed guidelines on deciding which of the two is the more appropriate exam for their children."
