That’s because at the time you and I took it, Mitch, the SAT (“Scholastic Aptitude Test”) was meant to be a predictor of collegiate propects, while the ACT was and is actually an achievement test. In fact, the Division of Nonpublic Education does not consider the SAT an acceptable means for satisfying the state’s requirement for a “nationally standardized test … [to] measure achievement” in religious, private, or home schools … but the ACT is okay.
