NBR: Those who went to college

Did you take the ACT or the SAT? Did anyone take both? I have to take one or the other to get into the Nursing Program (because the last time I took the SAT was over 5 years ago) and I wanted to see was the ACT any better than the SAT. TIA!

Re: NBR: Those who went to college
I know!! That's how they weed out folk! Darn shame!
That would be the ACT!

I agree with Kathy that it's nuts to take it again!
I took both the ACT and SAT. I did slightly better on the ACT. It was a lot more reading and comprehension than the SAT (from what I remember of it!)
2 years of TTC, Seeing RE Feb 09, 2 medicated TI cycles - BFNs, 3 medicated IUIs - BFNs, back to medicated TI cycles until IVF approval, IVF approved in March 2010. BFP on last medicated TI cycle.
I think its nuts as well, but apparently, some colleges are doing it now. As much as they need nurses you would think they wouldn;t make you jump thru so many hoops just to petition!!
Man that stinks! We have to take the HESI A2 here for nursing, which is a billion times easier
No wonder there are 2700+ nursing students on the waiting list.

Are you going directly into a nursing program at a four year school? I doubt it will be too bad. You will do a great job.
You could probably bypass the requirement by getting some of the basic courses completed at a Junior college and then transfer into the program.
edit to add: my recommendation would be to take the test that you know/have taken before, because having a basic familiarity with it will help you to score better on the next go!

Ok, this is to get into the program at a community college! I have all the basic courses done, nope doesn't matter! They STILL want you to have a recent ACT or SAT score.

After 1 year of TTC#2 BFP May 2011 m/c #3 4w2d. Off to RE.
Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
This! When I applied I had to take it and I'll have to take it again when I apply again...it was so easy except the A&P part.
CRAZY! Must be a pretty prestigious and rigorous program.

I took both. I scored slightly better on the ACT, if you were to compare them equally. However, the SAT has changed (as Sonadora mentioned), and now has a writing section.
I think it is crazy that if you've been out of HS more than 5 years that they would make you take it again. If you have the ability to take a prep class, I would, since it's been a while since you've taken either one.
Oh, and I did get a study book from the library for both! Both have their pros and cons. I may take both and see how I fair. Thanks all!
I took both. I applied to quite a few colleges, and some required different things from others.
It's odd that you have to retake it - usually adult students are exempted from that sort of thing.
I took the SAT, but I also graduated from high school almost 20 years ago (OMG!) so I'm not much help. I think the ACT was brand new then.
