<p>Has any one taken the ACT and the SAT? If so, which one did you think was harder and what did you score on them?</p>

2

<p>I thought the SAT was a little easier. 33 ACT vs. 2280 SAT.</p>

3

<p>I liked the ACT more because it was something I could more easily study for.</p>

4

<p>I gotta cram ACT these next 2 weeks - what is everyone's study plan?</p>

5

<p>2370 SAT vs. 34 ACT (32 composite w/ writing). Personally, I'm so much more used to the SAT format, but I think that if you can get used to it, the ACT would be a better test. The only thing is that the ACT has a much harsher time limit and less breaks (5 hours is pretty rough too).</p>

6

<p>The ACT is 5 hours?</p>

7

<p>ACT is more breadth of knowledge, SAT is more reasoning
I like em both</p>

<p>34 ACT
2300 SAT</p>

8

<p>I thought the SAT was easier but I scored higher on the ACT. 35 ACT vs 2180 new SAT/1510 old. </p>

<p>Take both and see which one you like better yourself.</p>

9

<p>I like the SAT better
30 ACT- 2180 SAT</p>

10

<p>act is much easier
better curve too cause stupid people take it</p>

<p>34act/2340sat</p>

11

<p>a 2340 is better than a 34 though</p>

12

<p>Does anyone know where I can find a chart that converts ACT scores to SAT scores?</p>

13

<p>30 vs. 1850</p>

<p>I f'ing love the ACT</p>

<p>actually Im saying this not really knowing what a 30 equates to..i just know its higher than a 1850</p>

14

<p>I did way better on the ACT. A lot of it is more comparable to what you learn in school than the SAT.</p>

<p>littlebeach what did you score? what did you do to prepare for it? any tips for test day/prep? thx</p>

17

<p>31 act(1350-1400eq) vs 1350 (30/31) SAT. Took the act a month ago, sat last spring. I think the Act is the better test,and the SAT is easier because there is more time to complete. I wish the ACT penialized, guessing shouldnt be rewarded. The science section is nice because it helps those out who are not that good at reading/writing.</p>

<p>Prep was the night before, I looked at a few science questions, which were a lot easier and quicker to do than the ones on the actual test. Go fast in science, and also in reading.</p>

18

<p>I liked the ACT.</p>

<p>2090 SAT vs. 34 ACT</p>

19

<p>I thought the ACT was much better. People stress out about the science a lot, but if you can read charts and graphs well, then you'll be okay. I got a 2140 SAT, 35 ACT. I think my ACT was better in part because I got more sleep the night before.</p>

<p>Although my SAT score is a bit higher, I have to say I liked the ACT better. It was straightforward. None of the SAT math bull trying to trick you (35 v. 720). It was more about what you know, a lot less about taking a test. The only problem was the time constraints on Reading and Science. 40 problems in 35 minutes is tough, even though they are easier than the SAT. Overall I got a 2160 v. 31.</p>
