<p>i got a sat book that has practice exams and test taking skills. </p>
<p>Book: The</a> Official SAT Study Guide [Book]</p>
<p>However im taking the ACT before i take the SAT so should i study for the ACT by getting an ACT book or will this SAT book give me enough and be more universal for the ACT</p>
<p>No, the ACT and SAT test two different abilities. The SAT tests your “ability to take a test” and is not neccesarily “knowledge-based” as opposed to the ACT which is a more straightforward test that forces you to work with minimal time. Definitely, the SAT has “tricks”, etc that can be learned from a prep book/class as opposed to the ACT which could be prepped for by simply reviewing major concepts in HS. Personally, I dislike the “tricks” in the SAT and prefer a more “straightforward” test like the ACT. Hope this helps. Also, it is advisable to take A LOT of practice tests as they help familiarize you with the format and types of q’s on the tests.</p>
