SAT vs ACT

<p>can someone please outline, or give me a link to a page or thread that outlines, the topics covered on both the SAT and ACT. also, can someone tell me about how much time you get for each section and what they are like? i plan on possibly taking the ACT in december if i dont get my SAT scores up to where i want them. i was going to take the SAT lit over again but decided that i have better chances with taking the SAT again and the ACT since it it supposedly easier.</p>

<p>how do scores on each test compare? i'm so used to the SATs that i understand what is good and what is a great score but not the ACT. i scored 560CR, 590M and 670W on the SAT (1150/1820). how exactly does that translate on the ACT scale out of a 36? i'm figuring that most people get around 24-28 on the ACT from what i've seen on college sites.</p>
