I grew up in a Boston suburb and nobody took ACTs back then At that time most schools on the East Coast only accepted SATs. Now it seems to be different. The college couselors at my senior's hs told us junior class parents that the ACTs were an easier alternative to the SAT.
My child and the majority of her classmates in the AP classes did not take ACTs but only SATs (and of course SAT IIs if one was applying to private colleges). One set of exams for which to prepare was enough.
The High School Class of 2006 was also the guinea pig year for the new SAT. It's a very long test (3.75 hours).
