<p>ACT is much much easier, but the time limit is much worse on the ACT</p>
<p>ACT by far, and the time is really not an issue on either one if you know what you’re doing.</p>
<p>^Not true at all.</p>
<p>For someone like me, who can analyze writing accurately and slowly, CR is quite a bit easier.</p>
<p>The time alone makes CR harder for me, even though it asks more advanced questions.</p>
<p>ACT cuz easier ques and vocab, its also all in one section so after yur done, it feels good to get it over with
whereas in sat, u might c separate passages in random sections and get confused</p>
<p>Very different tests!! It’s prudent to try both to see which suits your learning and studying style optimally.</p>
<p>It’s hard to say which test is significantly easier because there’s a randomly misplaced vocabulary check on the SAT that is not on the ACT. Even without the vocab, I still think the SAT’s comprehension is more difficult, not because it’s more challenging but because of its nature to challenge what should be right. The SAT test writers just love to abuse the statement, “choose the BEST answer” on the CR sections more often then not . Instead of having an answer choice that you came up with, it makes you choose the best answer they came up with. I don’t consider this to be “thoughtful”, just a tedious waste of time-- benefically to toll around in the worthlessness, you get plenty of time on the SAT. On the other hand, the ACT is more straightforward because if you know the right answer it will always be there as an option-- but you have to watch out for the very nasty time limit and curve.</p>
<p>I thought they were equally easy.</p>
<p>I found the ACT much easier haha.
I had a 30 but then a 35 on the next time. 640 and 640 both times.</p>
<p>I think there’s one more point: Each ACT question has 4 choices (i.e. a 25% chance for correct guessing) while SAT has 5 choices per question (i.e. a 20% chance)…What do you think?</p>
<p>But the time limit means you barely have time to read the four choices. And generally atleast 2 of the 5 on the SAT don’t make any sense at all.</p>
<p>Oh and let’s not forget that 6 of the reading questions on the ACT are located in the Science Section. These are the killers, so that’s why the ACT reading is a bit easier.</p>
<p>I find ACT much harder because of the time limit. For the SAT, you can wiz through the vocabulary and spend much more time on the passages. AND the SAT, IMO, has a more generous curve than the ACT.</p>
<p>Well, I wouldn’t call the vocabulary check “random”, just a bit more tedious and challenging.</p>
<p>I found them both the same, although they are totally different animals. You have to look at both differently and create different strategies for both.</p>
<p>Both the same…although totally different.</p>
<p>SOunds like something in CR lol</p>
<p>I got a 29 in Reading on the ACT, and a 630 on CR. I’d say they are equal in difficulty for me at least.</p>
<p>^ Wow, I don’t think that I have ever seen a CR and ACT reading be that even, besides something like 800 36 of course. :P</p>
<p>I don’t know, I thought I’d get a 30 or something, but apparently the reading is tougher than I thought.</p>
<p>It just has some stupid, vague questions</p>
<p>and if you are talking about June, -4 was probably a 30-, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>^Not really, that would be the SAT. Never seen a vague question the ACT reading really. And misconception, ACT isn’t easier.</p>
<p>The curve is spretty brutal on the ACT. I missed 3 on the June one and got a 32. So I’d say 5 wrong would be a 30.</p>
