SAT :- 60 - 90 seconds per question. Content and Weight of Math Section : - In SAT, the Math Section is worth half of your total score. SAT Questions are quite unlike anything you've seen before in your math classes, in fact they give you a math formula sheet for reference at the beginning of the math section whereas the ACT does not. The absence of a dedicated science section doesn't matter so much because the ACT Science section is like a "Reading Part - II" or like a "Reading with Graphs" section. And the SAT reading section actually includes a fair number of Science Passages with graph analysis. However you are not given as much graph analysis as the ACT. The way the reading section is structured and how questions are asked : - The SAT reading section seems much easier at first glance, and you have almost 90 seconds to answer each question, plus they are asked in a chronological order and there are a lot of Evidence based questions, so it seems like you can just look into the passage and find the answer right there, however the SAT has extremely tricky and unexpected tricks to have you pick the wrong answer, and it takes lots and lots of practice to figure out what these tricks are, and which ones you are susceptible to. If you are a deep concentrator willing to spend long hours analyzing and figuring out things from various perspectives, willing to figure out the SAT's tricks, then you would like to stick to the SAT. ACT :- 36 - 60 seconds per question. Content and Weight of Math Section : - In ACT, it's only worth 1/4th. The ACT however, tests a lot more advanced math topics than the SAT does, like Logarithms, Matrices, and Trigonometry, none of which appear on the SAT, but these questions are much more straightforward and you can just plug and chuck after memorizing a formula. The ACT has a dedicated science section whereas the SAT does not. However, you are not asked explicitly about the contents of Chemistry, Biology or Physics. Instead you are tasked with reading passages and answering questions about what you've read. The way the reading section is structured and how questions are asked : - The ACT Questions are not chronological and rather randomized. The ACT does give you less time to answer each question, but like the math section, they are very straightforward and don't need as much analysis or critical thinking. The ACT is more suitable for you if you are an extremely fast reader who can retain information long term. You might want to take a practice test of both without any prior preparation, it might take hours or destroy a whole weekend, but it is absolutely worth it.

So does it matter whether or not which Act test you take? If you take only ACT reading is that good enough.

The ACT itself is all 4 sections at once so you can’t just take one subject. Hope that helps!

score high on SAT/ACT so you can impress the HR wimp who's too scared to fail in business.

Hold on. I'm an international applicant from the UK. I'm in my last year of college (last year of high school for Americans). I dropped all core subjects in my country and I'm doing English Literature, Politcs and Religious Studies. Will I be expected to do maths in the SATs and ACTs?
@amaniahmad56424 жыл бұрын
Yes, both the ACT and the SAT have mathematics sections in the exams. However, it’s not very advanced mathematics and as long as you know algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry/trig you’ll be good

A question: How much do I need on the SAT to be considered a competitive international applicant applying for CS In top 30 universities?
@CollegeAdvisor5 жыл бұрын
I would suggest 1500+. If possible, 1530-1550+

Greg Smith thank you so much
@CoachHallWrites5 жыл бұрын
For a top college, 1500 or 1550. CS is a really competitive field. For other majors, you might need a 1400, but CS is highly competitive, international student or not.

Hey Greg if there is a way to contact you on a pretty personal question I’ve been stressing about I could use your help. I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time and haven’t found the answer.

This question may be a bit off-topic from the video, but should I take the essay/writing portion of the act/sat as well?

I hate maths and I'm not good at it too so which one should I take? And is it going to be useful if I want to become android developer?
