<p>Is getting an 800 on SAT Math easier then getting an 800 on ACT Math?</p>
<p>More people seem to get problems wrong on the ACT math because the ACT always has problems that are abnormal and the last five are usually very difficult.</p>
<p>The SAT math problems are used on every test with a minor change in the problem or different numbers.</p>
<p>Wouldn't this make SAT math easier to study for compared to the ACT math?</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what sections/areas the SAT math covers?</p>
<p>It’s hard to get 800 on ACT Math when it’s out of 36, and yes I believe it is easier to get an 800 on the SAT as opposed to a 36 on ACT math. SAT Math is mostly logic problems with added knowledge that you would learn at the beginning of 5th grade - 10th grade, you just have to know what to use where. You can plug in almost every problem. ACT provides math questions where broader knowledge is needed to do well.</p>
<p>Yeah… thanks I meant to say 36 for ACT.</p>
<p>I was wondering though, aren’t the questions for math almost the exact same on each test with maybe different numbers or a few changes in the problem but still testing the same concept each time?</p>
<p>I don’t know about the ACT, but getting an 800 in Math is easy if you know math really well and if you know what you’re doing. But be careful of those permutation/combination problems or something similar to that. There’s like one or two of those that can ruin your 800.</p>
<p>Well I’m in Calculus AB as a junior at the moment and only score 25’s or 26’s on the ACT math because of the time it takes me on the last 20 problems.</p>
<p>I’m hoping to get at least a 700-750 on SAT math though because I feel I know a lot of math but I just need to review geometry/algebra II again</p>
<p>i think its harder to do get a perfect score on the sat math. if you misread one question, or cannot solve one of the last ones that are really hard to figure out, you wont get a perfect.</p>
<p>Statistically, over 3 times as many people get an 800 on the SAT math than a 36 on the ACT. I think the ACT math is harder but it doesn’t try to trick you by asking questions in poor english, putting half-answers so that you suffer a 1/4 penalty because of misreading a question, etc.</p>
<p>^less people take the ACT.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>4,621 of 1,480,469 people get a 36 on math ACT.
10,052 of 1,530,128 get an 800 on math SAT.</p>
<p>My math is a bit off there but here’s the statistics. Almost same amount of people take both.</p>
