<p>I personally prefer the ACT over the SAT because it doesn’t have any of those stupid traps to trip you up. With the ACT, you really need to work on timing, not test strategy. It’s more straightforward.</p>
<p>You can do a free test for both without having to buy a book, if you just want to test them out. [Sentence inserted by moderator: both test publishers offer free sample tests to high schools and post preparation materials on their websites.] </p>
<p>I wonder if there are stats anywhere comparing how people did on both, compared to their grades? i.e., did those better in English and science do better on the ACT?</p>
