Is it just people who don't want to go to good schools take the act?
I only prepped for the sat. Our teachers told us that the act was more for people who want to go to junior colleges or trade schools.

I took both FWIW. But this is far from true.

You had ignorant teachers troll. Both tests are accepted at Ivy League schools and everything below. There are regional tendencies but ACT has overtaken the SAT in popularity.
A kid should take them both to see which one they perform better on.

No, it is just the only one required to go to public schools in the southern states. Since that is where the majority of kids around here and the posters on this site went that is what they took.
I think there is a hungover correlation with the ACT, I made my best score when I was hungover and puking in the bathroom during the break. Of course I took it at Madison Parish High School in Tallulah La and the proctors were not monitoring the time. I don't think I went over but when I got up to leave at the end of the exam there were still ppl taking the reading
. Also one of the girls behind me raised her hand and asked the proctoe "Mr, teacher ( I don't want to post his name on a message board) can you give this white boy the answer so we hurry up and get out of here." 
gotta love that rural NELA public education system

it's regional
and when i took the ACT (late 90s), the SAT was horrible. their verbal section was filled with rote memorization requirements, which is ridiculous if you're trying to use the test to determine academic potential.
