<p>Which test should I take? The SAT or the ACT. I have already been studying for the SAT but people are saying the ACT is easier.</p>
<p>Either or – the ACT tends to have slightly easier questions, but you have to be a little faster.</p>
<p>What do you mean by faster?</p>
<p>Is it the same type of test?</p>
<p>The time constraints come into play a little more. The SAT is broken down into 10 sections, between 10 minutes and 25 minutes(?) in length. You’ll test math, then reading, then writing, then back to math, then writing, then math, then reading (ect…). Mainly in the SAT, you have smaller samples of questions in smaller time frames. </p>
<p>In the ACT however, you’re given each of the four sections one at a time, all 40-75 questions in length, and all between 35 minutes and an hour in length to complete. It’s not that you have less time per question necessarily, it’s that you need to manage time more effectively.</p>
<p>That is, on the SAT, if you’re moving too slow, fine, you don’t finish one section by a couple questions and realize you need to move faster in the future. On the ACT, if you move similarly slow, you’ll leave many questions blank.</p>
<p>General advice is that the ACT is more time-orientated while the SAT is more content-orientated (read: harder in quality). If you are superb at time-management/school tests then take the ACT. If you are more english-orientated and move slower take the SAT. If you don’t fall into one of those, take both.</p>
<p>I found ACT easier.</p>

<p>Here is an article by the Princeton Review on the difference between the two tests. I hope it helps.</p>
<p>ACT measures achievement while SAT measures aptitude.
I personally found the ACT easier.</p>
<p>I find the ACT easier than the SAT. The only way to know is to try yourself.</p>
