While the exams have similarities, they have a few key differences too. A student’s individual learning style, test-taking tendencies, academic strengths, and educational background all play a role in which exam is a better fit. By prepping for the right exam, you increase your chances of a higher score while also optimizing your time (and money!) for quality test prep.
If you’re debating between the SAT vs ACT, our Comparison Test is ideal for any student who’s taken at least high-school level geometry. As a first step to a focused test-prep plan, consider sitting for the exam around the end of sophomore year or the beginning of junior year. If you’ve missed that timeline, don’t worry — you can take the exam any time to learn which test is best.
When taken in person at one of our centers, the test is administered as an actual-conditions exam to mimic the environment of the SAT/ACT as closely as possible. If taken online, students are provided with proctoring instructions. Allow approximately 3.5 hours to complete the exam. For best results, the test should be taken only after a student has completed high school geometry.
