answers1: it really depends on your strengths and weaknesses. I'm
under the impression that the ACT is more knowledge based while the
SAT is more logic based. I think that depending on what you are good
at either could be "easier."
answers2: yea, the act is easier than the sat
answers3: i thought the ACT was easier. on the SAT, you are penalized
by a 1/4 point for each wrong answer, but they don't do that on the
ACT
answers4: SAT is easier, the ACT is more important now compared to the
sat, no matter whree you live. some people think the sat is harder
others think the ACT is harder, but the ACT is more important
answers5: It really depends a lot on the individual. <br>
<br>
The SAT doesn't test as much content, but it's a longer test and the
reasoning required is more advanced. (Don't make a decision based on
that fact that there is a wrong answer penalty - that doesn't affect
the relative difficulty.) <br>
<br>
The ACT is a little shorter and much more straightforward, but it
tests more content (more grammar rules, more advanced math topics, and
a science comprehension section), doesn't give any math formulas, and
gives you less time per problem. The ACT has an optional essay, and
you're given a little longer to write the essay (30 minutes vs 25), so
that's something to consider as well. <br>
<br>
I would recommend that in the very near future you take a practice
test of each and decide which one you're more comfortable with. <br>
<br>
Good luck!
answers6: Well personally for me, the ACT was much easier. Even
without prep, I got a score of 32/36. ACT is still not as well known,
but to almost all colleges, ACT= SAT. There is no difference between
the two tests. Also, the science portion for ACT barely requires you
to have any knowledge of sciences. Most of it is showing you a lab and
their results, and they ask you questions on it. (It's basically like
reading comprehension but with science.) Yes, the math does involve
trig, so it's best if you finish pre-calc first. And the grammar and
reading comprehension is much easier for the ACT. Also, for the ACT
you don't get penalized for answering a question wrong. Rather, you
gain points for every question you answer correctly. And the essay is
optional (though i do recommend writing one since most colleges
require it.) So I would suggest you take the ACT. but there is no harm
in taking both the SAT and the ACT! I think you should take a practice
SAT and ACT test. and see which one you do better in before you make a
decision! :)
