The ACT is thought to be more aligned with what is taught in the classroom and includes science and other reading-based sections not included on the SAT. The SAT is thought to be more of an aptitude test and is intended to predict performance in college level courses.

First and foremost, the tests, according to Kaplan, are traditionally thought of in two different ways. The SAT is considered to be a test to measure your critical thinking skills and test your ability to analyze and solve problems in reading, math, and writing. The ACT is considered to be a more ‘curriculum-based’ exam, testing college preparedness in the areas of English, reading, math, science by calling on information you should have learned from high school coursework.
