[lit-ideas] ACT or SAT

Hi,
My son has an opportunity to take either the SAT or the ACT as part of this 7th 
Grade Talent Search done by Duke University.  
 
I have to decide which he should take.  He can only take one at this point in 
time. (I suppose via this program. I think you can sign up and take the test on 
your own if you are willing to pay for it...)
 
Are there pros and cons for each test that I should be considering?  His 
counselor says that most of the kids he knows who have qualified will take the 
ACT (but that is because it will be held in our suburb <G>  People here do NOT 
like to drive into KC unless it is totally absolutely necessary. The SAT is 
being held at oen of the private schools "in the city".  I'd prefer to make a 
decision based on other reasons than where the test is being taken...but that 
is just me. Maybe they already know something more positive about the ACT than 
I know. I really don't know how to compare them.)  
 
Awaiting responses from the academic gurus on List,
Marlena in Missouri
