SATs VS ACTs?

Question

What's the difference? Which one is right for me?

Answer 1

No one can answer that question but yourself

The ACT has its perks because there are no points counted against you for wrong answers and there is more sections

The SAT is known for being a little harder, you have more sections of the same stuff to do but in total the amount of questions for both tests is about the same

The SAT takes points away from you for wrong answers and its known for being a little harder

Anyways take both practice tests and see which one  works out for you and which one doesn't

Answer 2

I would take a practice test for both.

If your better at working diligently and memorizingn terms then the ACT is better.

SAT is hard to improve on no matter how much to study.

Answer 3

It depends where you plan on going to college. Most eastern schools in the US require SAT, whereas most western schools want ACT. A lot of colleges accept both. Find out where you're going to school and what they require.

As for the difference, I believe ACT has science on the test, and SAT does not.

Though on the ACT, guessing does not count against you, which definitly works in your benifit.

On the SAT you have the choice to guess or leave it blank, and in which case a blank answer won't count off as much as a wrong answer, so you have to choose whether or not you want to guess or not. ACT doesn't count off any more for wrong answers than blank.

Answer 4

The SAT seems to be more universal at most colleges, but ACT is popular among midwest, so it depends where you want to go to college.
