ACT
The ACT does have some distinct advantages over the SAT, making it an attractive alternative or addition to the SAT. In general, the ACT tends to have more reading, favoring those who are stronger in that area. In addition, the math tends to be more straightforward and less tricky. However, the major advantage that the ACT has over the SAT is that one can decide whether or not to send a specific test date score to colleges, once he or she has received that score. That means that there is really no disadvantage to taking the ACT. However, preparation for the ACT is quite different from preparation for the SAT. Chyten's expert ACT tutors can guide students through all question types and strategies for success.
The ACT vs. SAT Comparison Test
Chyten has created the world's first and only authentic ACT vs SAT Comparison Test.
