ACT or SAT?: Choosing the Right Exam for You
Are you one of the millions of high school students planning to take the SAT or the ACT? Almost all colleges accept either test, and so you may be faced with a difficult decision — which exam to take? The tests are very different — the SAT is based on reasoning, the ACT on curriculum. The experts at The Princeton Review can help you figure out on which tests you’ll score higher, based on your personal test-taking skills and preferences, and guide you on this important step in the college admissions process.
SAT or ACT? features an assessment test to identify your strengths and weaknesses as well as plenty of SAT and ACT practice questions so that you can get a real feel for both exams. Additionally, you’ll get explanations and drills so you can learn about the nature of the SAT and the ACT and figure out which test you’ll do better on.
Most colleges value the ACT and/or the SAT as a key part of every student’s application. Knowing which test will best highlight your skills and lend the most strength to your applications is a crucial factor in getting into the school of your choice. Don’t make the SAT or ACT choice without this guide.

To get into college, scores from the ACT or SAT are a must. But which test is better for your needs? One focuses on curriculum, the other on reasoning. This book clarifies, through a series of mini-quizzes and personality tests, which test will best meet your needs for college admissions. Helpful. Informative. Easy-to-read.

Literally the worst book I've read this year. Pretty much useless. 3/4ths of it is a combined ACT/SAT practice test, while the remaining 1/4th is a summary of the ACT/SAT, which is provided for free on the websites of the respective tests.
