<p>The SAT Writing, while not as reasoning intensive as some of the other parts, still requires a keen and coherent thought process in order to do well; I mean, honestly, the ACT has COMMA error questions–that is true memorization. </p>
<p>The SAT writing “improving sentences” section takes more than memorizing writing rules; unlike finding the error, you need to have good analytical skills for identifying the best sentence structure possible.</p>
<p>
No, you place the commas logically so the sentence flows coherently. It’s based on logic. Memorizing idioms is not.</p>
<p>Sorry for taking the OP’s thread though.</p>
<p>There are arguments that can go either way, and I will admit, both the SAT and ACT have their own respective ways of posing a challenge.</p>
<p>Send both! That’s what I did, and I had similar scores. Apparently it’s a plus to show that you can do well on both (because the tests have different set-ups and each one tests you in a different way).</p>
<p>I V-- what is your point? The ACT is easier? Well that is your perspective. Critical Reading on the SAT, in my opinion, is a cakewalk, while the ACT Reading and Science is not. I’ll admit ACT English is easier than SAT Writing, but that has more to do with the SAT Writing being f*d up then the ACT English being easy.</p>
<p>And why only send the SAT score if one does well on the ACT as well? 99.9% of US Universities accept both equally.</p>
