What, in simple terms, is the difference between the ACT test and the SAT test. Why choose one over the other?

LB asked:


I have a student at the sophomore high school level and college prep choices are looming. There is the PSAT (which I assume is the pre-SAT test). But I don’t understand the difference between the SAT test and the ACT test, and which colleges want which one.
