<p>I'm prepping for the ACT, and I need the most improvement on English. I am running out of practice tests, but is the SAT writing on the same topics? Because if so I have that book already. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No, they are not the same. The ACT is way easier for English. Fewer rules are tested and much more basically. If you know all the SAT grammar rules, you’ll be good to go for the ACT.</p>
<p>@pwcpeng u say that sat writing is harder, do colleges know that? I got a 770 on sat writing and a 31 on act English, should I retake act to raise English or does sat writing make it up?</p>

<p>Act English is harder in that the curve is bizarre harsh. </p>

<p>Like Dirkslam41 said, the curves for the ACT and the SAT are different. I was just saying the concepts tested on the ACT are easier than the concepts tested on the SAT for grammar/English.</p>
<p>amh1280, retaking depends on what you got on your other sections. If you bombed SAT Math and CR while you aced ACT Science, Reading, Math, and the Essay…then it’s a different situation than if you aced the SAT Math and CR while bombing all of the ACT.</p>
<p>I thought that ACT English was harder than the SAT writing test.</p>
<p>The ACT English tests much more on technical and specific grammatical rules than the SAT writing does.</p>
