Should I take both the ACT and the SAT?
Many students do take both. It makes sense to take both and lead with your best score. Refer to our SAT/ACT Conversion Chart for a score comparison.

Am I at a competitive disadvantage if I only take the ACT?

We don't have any data on this, but if you're applying to highly competitive colleges, a strong SAT score may look more impressive than a strong ACT score.
