SAT vs. ACT – Preparing for Testing

On November 20, Dr. Nathan Scott McClanahan, President of The Doctor Tutors, discussed SAT vs. ACT – Preparing for Testing.  He talked for almost two hours on the differences between the tests, when you should take them, how/when to prepare, and many other very useful things.

• The Doctor Tutors website
• SAT and ACT requirements
• SAT II tests
• When should I take the SAT/ACT?
• Preparation strategies
• Which test is right for you?
• What is your goal?
