<p>Will the majority of my SAT-prep roll over to ACT or are they too different. With the exeption of science.</p>
<p>ACT math is way different than SAT math.</p>
<p>They are really the same except for math, which is very different. The good news is that it is different in that the problems are more straightforward, though they may require more advanced math skills.</p>
<p>ACT Math=SAT II Math</p>
<p>If u use the same reading strategies........chances are u wont finish on time.</p>
<p>The reading passages/questions are easier for the ACT...but it's timing more than anything.</p>
<p>ya they are. What i meant was dont try to overanalyze or do the fancy strategies you would for the SAT</p>
<p>yeah i studied a ton for the sat and ended up with a good score and then basically went cold into the october act (did one practice test not under timed conditions) and got a good, similar score</p>
<p>it'll work. i got 36 on act by working really hard for the sat, which wasnt too hot</p>
<p>It transfers very well. I don't see any difference between SAT and ACT math. Obviously, you'll need extra practice on science, and practice with timing.</p>
<p>How fast are you talking here? I mean I can do the math and divide the number of problems by the time, but can anyone give me some real world experience?</p>
<p>Thanks, I don't think math will be too big of a problem becuase I got a 750 last time and maybe 800 in december. I'll probably look it over anyway.</p>
<p>I mainly wanted to know about the writing section which is my problem area...
Will ACT test similar errors, i.e pronuon usage, verb tense...? Any different ones common on ACT that are not in SAT?</p>
<p>yes. you can use the same grammar rules you learned for the writing section on the english, same eliminating the wrong answer strategies.</p>
<p>What about the writing? Do they want examples?</p>
<p>They will carry over if you remember:</p>
<p>In reading, the questions are more straightforward in ACT, but they aren't in order like in the SAT so you have to read the whole passage first.</p>
<p>In math, you can really use the same strategy, just add a few advanced topic</p>
<p>in writing its the same</p>
<p>in science its random and i have no advice</p>
<p>also remember that ACT is incredibly time oriented while SAT is trick oriented</p>
<p>"ACT Math=SAT II Math"</p>
<p>No. I got a 34 on the ACT Math section the first time around. I got a 650 on the SAT II Math 2 section the first time. You guess which one is easier.</p>
<p>35 on ACT, 800 on Math IIC,</p>
<p>The SAT will prepare you for the ACT. Just make sure you learn the pacing of the ACT--it moves quickly.</p>
<p>How could you adapt to the timing/pacing on the ACT? Are practice tests the only way? What is the section that was most rushed for you guys?</p>
<p>The science section is crazy rushed...and to a lesser extent the reading section. I always have 15 minutes left in the other two sections. The reading section it seems from personal experience just takes a couple of practice tests to get the timing down...but the science section is wierd. Sometime I don't even understand the graphs at all, like in february. Still somehow got a 29...no idea how...the last graph was crazy.</p>
