Three common myths about the SAT debunked Myth 1: Colleges prefer the SAT over the ACT All four-year colleges in the U.S. now accept the ACT, and it is highly regarded. Some admissions professionals will even tell you that they prefer it over the SAT because it is based more on coursework and better reflects how a student will perform in college. They can take a free ACT vs. SAT Comparison Test at Chyten to determine which test is best. Myth 2: Colleges only see the scores I send them This is often accompanied by rumors like “it doesn’t matter how many times I take the SAT because colleges won’t see it,” or “I will just focus on one section of the SAT at a time because colleges will take my highest score for each section.” While many colleges state that they will still “Superscore” (use the highest section across multiple test dates), the jury is still out on why they want all the scores. Most think it is simply in the interest of making certain that they have all the correct data to select the highest scores.
How it Works:
The 3 hour test is held in the Chyten centers under actual test conditions. It contains all components of both the SAT and ACT. Within just a few days of taking the test, the Center Director will sit down with you to review the results. During this introductory period, there is no cost for either the test or the private consultation (a $90 value).
The Magnostic™ Report analyzes your test performance in nearly 100 categories. You will see detailed results on each component of the ACT and SAT tests. The 9-page report also measures fatigue factor, point-cost factor, confidence factor and other variables.

Myth 3: I don’t need to take SAT Subject Tests First of all, you will need them if you are applying to the Ivy League, many small competitive liberal arts colleges or some popular universities. Finally, some colleges that don’t require SAT Subject Tests in general, do require them for certain programs like engineering or nursing. And the best time to take them is when you finish the subject material. Don Wardle Director Chyten of Johns Creek and Milton 678 824 6890
