Not at all. Both the SAT and ACT are standardized college entrance exams and either are accepted by collegeswith no preference. This is especially true after the SAT's latest revision.
There are a few key differences in the SAT and the ACT. Since the revision of the SAT, it is rumored that the SAT is slightly harder than the ACT (I've taken both and I believe this to be true). However, the SAT seems to be slightly more rewarding.
Also, the SAT's scoring system allows for the fact that it is difficult. You do not need to get every answer correct in order to score a perfect score on the SAT. It *is* important that you answer every question. On the SAT (and the ACT, for that matter) it is always better to at least make an educated guess as opposed to skipping a question.
There are tons and tons of tips and tricks for studying for the SAT that will help you tremendously.
