How Do the SAT and ACT Compare?
ACT stands for American College Test. It is a standardized examination for prospective college students developed by the University of Iowa. Although originally popular only in western states, colleges all over America now allow applicants to submit either the ACT or SAT I. The ACT is a better measure for students who have good recall of specific knowledge learned in school. It is less abstract than the SAT. Look at an ACT review book to familiarize yourself with the content and structure of the test. Take a practice test of the ACT and the SAT I to see which format best highlights your talents.May the scores be with you!
