ACT Writing vs. SAT Writing

<p>Hello, I'm new to the ACT. All these years, I always thought I would be taking the SAT but recently I've been exposed & discovered that I'm more fit for the ACT.
And I've got some general questions for you CCers. </p>

<p>ACT Writing vs SAT Writing. Can you guys list some differences between them? I'd really appreciate it if any of you will dedicate some time in explaining them.
I know for a fact that SAT writing is more supporting examples from literature texts and your personal experiences.. but I'm not too sure of ACT... [I've been hearing that the Essay Scorers don't read the essays so 2 pages of bs will still get you a 10/12, is this true?]</p>

<p>Oh & plus, are there any ACT study guides for Science? I tried looking for them in Amazon. But I guess they don't have any. Just wanted some input on this.</p>

<p>Thank you so much.. and any comments will be much appreciated! THANKS!</p>

<p>ACT Writing is 30 min - SAT is 25 min
ACT uses relevant topics to high schoolers - SAT uses universal topics
ACT expects one to make a counterargument - SAT does not</p>

<p>2 pages of bs has been a bit exaggerated - I mean you need a qualified position to start. For all we know, the other person may have had a lucky 90 year old man who was on his last test ready to go home. </p>

<p>For Science - try Number2.com or Sparknotes (get an account with both sites)</p>
