Depends. Most of the Mid/Southern states only require ACT (Louisiana, Texas, Florida, etc.) and the SAT is optional. Western/New England states require the SAT and don't even know what the ACT is. Everyone accepts the SAT though, which is why too many people don't take the ACT. I did just to improve my chances, because certain circumstances might not give me the greatest odds of getting where I want to go.
