Back to FAQ 16. Do colleges accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT I and the SAT II tests?
Many colleges do accept the ACT with Writing in lieu of both the SAT I and two or more SAT II tests, but some do not. Some of the Ivy League colleges, for example, will accept the ACT with Writing in place of the SAT I only, not the SAT II subject tests. Be sure to check the websites of the colleges you are considering, as well as consulting with your college adviser.
