SAT vs. ACT
The SAT and ACT generally test the same types of content. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions and merit-based scholarships. The biggest differences between the tests are that the ACT has a Science Test, and there’s one SAT Math Section for which you cannot use a calculator. For the most part, colleges don't prefer one over the other, so explore both tests to decide which one is right for you or if you would wish to do both.
