Some do, some don't (do better on the ACT) Mine didn't. My two cents is that if you are going to take both, you need to prep for both. The tests are different and the strategies to take the test (answer the tricky questions) are different. Pays to study and learn the test strategies for both exams.
My other free advice is to take practice exams and really dissect what your kid gets wrong and correct their process for determining the answers they missed. We found this was the real bang for the buck of a good tutor. They can look at what your kid missed and really hone their test taking skills for the second time around. The SAT folks will never admit it, but good test taking skills are worth 100 points or more, IMO.
