>>Part of the country? Wow, that has changed. In the 60s it was real clear - state schools ACT private schools SAT - no variation or deviation. Depending on which one you were going to the other was a waste of time.

>I can only speak to the early 70s. I was an Air Force brat, and had the option of going to college in either Iowa (my parents "official" residence) or Texas, where I graduated from HS. Iowa schools wanted the ACT. Texas wanted the SAT.
Maybe it was just an Ohio thing about state schools and ACT. Private schools were definitely *all* SAT in my time.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
