ACT or SAT

This year, more and more students are taking the ACT for college entrance.
We provide both ACT and SAT prep but do you know how these tests compare to each other? Here’s a quick explanation. What's the difference between the ACT and the SAT? The SAT is traditionally thought of as a test that measures your critical-thinking skills, testing your ability to analyze and solve problems in math, reading, and writing. The ACT, on the other hand, is considered a more curriculum-based test, since it tests your academic preparedness for college in the areas of English, math, reading, and science by calling on information you have learned in your high school coursework.

Not sure which one is right for you? Call us and we can help.
