<p>are ACT passage reading easier that SAT. what are the passage mostly about?
i don't what i do, i couldn't get them right can u please help me by saying what i can do to improve my reading and Tips on the passage. i am a slow reader so i thought i could just not read the passage and answer the questions that says it's from the line---- on SAT because in SAT we can omit questions instead of getting them wrong. But in ACT i hear it's not good to omit, if u get me some reading tips or any thing u did that made u improve can really help me.</p>
<p>I haven't taken both ACT or SAT </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Umm. Are you asking help for SAT or ACT reading? I can only help with one haha. My SAT reading is horrible.</p>
<p>Personally, I think ACT passages are easier because the questions seem to be more direct; from my experience, SAT requires more analysis and has trickier questions/answer choices.</p>
<p>As for practicing, I kept redoing ACT reading sections and got a 36. As for SAT, I got a 640 last time so I’m just redoing SAT practice tests and hopefully my scores will go up.</p>
<p>And yes, SAT has a guessing penalty. So if you really have no idea what the answer is, you have a 20% chance of guessing right so I’d leave it blank, otherwise you get a .25 point deduction. But ACT has no point deductions so you should guess :)</p>
<p>ACT questions are more direct, but you have to work slightly faster (52 seconds per question average on the ACT and 62 seconds per questions average for the SAT)</p>
<p>And ACT passages are slightly longer on average. Whilst the SAT has some passages that can be 20-25 lines (ranging up to about 140-ish), the ACT has about 120 lines per passage.</p>
