Is the SAT not your cup of tea? Now more than ever, students are turning to the ACT as their college entrance standardized test of choice. The SAT and ACT vary in question type and focus, and it doesn’t hurt to work those differences to your advantage. After a little research and a few practice problems, many students are able to get a feel for which test they are more comfortable with.
The ACT is composed of four required sections (English, Math, Reading and Scientific Reasoning) and one optional Writing section. Unlike the SAT, the ACT’s questions are more straightforward and similar to the questions that students see at school, so there are fewer new techniques to learn when studying for the ACT. Those who have a penchant for reading graphs and figures, may have an advantage in the Scientific Reasoning section, while those who are weaker in rote vocabulary and writing.
If you find your ears perking up at any of these ACT traits, you should definitely look into taking a diagnostic with Study Hut. And If you are applying to colleges and universities in the Mid-West or the South, you will definitely want to become familiar with the ACT (the Central and Southern institutions tend to prefer the ACT).We tutor both the SAT and ACT with great success, and we are available year-round.
