The SAT tends to numb your brain with boring passages while the ACT gives you more interesting reading selection, but nowhere near enough time. On the SAT, a 25-minute reading section will also include fill-in-the-blank vocabulary questions, one short-passage and one long-passage. The ACT has no vocabulary questions, and you have only 35 minutes to read 4 long passages and answer 40 questions! The SAT makes it really easy to skip reading the entire passage by usually giving line numbers to reference each question. The ACT does that less frequently, so it is harder (but, because of the time constraints, still necessary) to skip the reading and go straight to the questions. The SAT has several of the same kinds of passages on every test (one fiction passage, one science passage, and one political correct passage) while the ACT always have fiction, then social science, then humanities and then natural science. |
