<p>Yeah, I’m taking my ACT tomorrow morning. </p>
<p>Sadly, I haven’t had time to study for it. As a result, I am rather nervous about it. Mind you, I have taken the SAT before…3 times. </p>
<p>That said, I am cognizant of the differences between the ACT and SAT. Am I correct in thinking that the ACT: </p>
<li>Tests one’s knowledge over one’s test-taking abilities? </li>
</ol>
<p>Please, any opinions/tips/pointers are welcome. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>no penalty for random guessing at all</p>
<p>ACT is a curriculum based test, meaning it tries to test what u've learnt in high school rather than trying to test ur "intelligence" or "aptitude" in SAT. its easier for math/science people because 2/4 sections are math/science, instead of just 1/3 for the SAT. Personally, i thought it was way easier. I studied for a week, and I don't think it even helped that much, just got the format down, and i scored a 33 composite. If you relax and don't let nerves get you, u'll easily score 30+.</p>
