Hi! I’m just curious as to whether people typically do better on the SAT over the ACT, vice versa. Some of my friends have done poorly on the SAT, but have found much better luck with the ACT. I’m just wondering what some of your experiences have been and how your scores compared?
My daughter preferred the ACT, my son hated it and did the SAT instead. It seems to be a personal preference.
most people prefer the ACT because, like, if you can read, interpret, and correct information, you already have the english, reading, and science sections down. you can also use your calculator on the entire math section, whereas, on the SAT, it’s split into two sections: with a calculator and without a calculator. the SAT also gives you more time per question, but they’re harder in my opinion. i’m someone who prefers the ACT, so i may be a bit biased.
