Should I take the SAT or the ACT?

Observations about the SAT & ACT
SAT– More abstract and critical thinking based, – Questions are often more complex
ACT– more straightforward and more similar to tests
in school than SAT– Time per question is quicker on ACT but
questions are less complex
![Page 6: College Testing Night George C. Marshall HS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56816207550346895dd230ce/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ACT as the “other” test
• ACT often considered by students who are dissatisfied with SAT score after multiple attempts
• Better to determine which test is best for you from the beginning
• Colleges accept either test!
