Want this question answered?
Most colleges will accept both, but you will find that, typically, colleges on either US coast will prefer the SAT and colleges are more inland will prefer the ACT.
community college and slum dog private college may accept you if you score low in ACT. don't afraid my dear kid
uh pretty much ALL OF THEM. DEPENDING ON ACT/SAT SCORES-
No, colleges can make you retake the SAT but not the ACT.
Add a point or two to your score. The ACT is easier now and groups like Mensa no longer accept those scores for admission, btw.

Employers don't look at ACT scores. Community colleges usually offer open enrollment for anyone with a high school diploma, and don't require ACT scores. Four-year universities vary widely in what they consider scores acceptable for enrollment.
There is no minimum ACT score, however, looking at the average scores of admitted students might give you a better idea of what they are looking for. Mid-range ACT scores range from 14-19.
If you feel like you will score well (however you define that) or if you want to save some money, then do send your scores to four colleges (you will have this option while registering for the test).
Most schools won't accept a score under 15. Some schools prefer SAT scores (especially those located in coastal areas) and others (especially in the midwest) prefer the ACT. These preferences are fading, however, and most schools now regard both sets of scores with equal weight.
ACT: SAT
An ACT score of 23 is competitive in many universities. As you know, an ACT score is not the only thing colleges look at. If you have a great GPA, your ACT score, doesn't need to be as high. As far as Ivy League schools, this score is most likely not high enought to be competitive.
