SAT OR ACT????
highly_ambitious:
i'm really confused abt taking standarised test such as SAT or ACT? both are accepted by the universities for an undergrad. admission. But, why two test???? Isn't SAT enough to test our capabilities?? what do they require more of us?? I know some ppl who have taken both SAT n ACT. But, I seriously do not want to take both of them.
However, acc to my knowledge... SAT is more analytical and problem solving oriented, whereas ACT test more n more on subject matter and stuffs we learned in high school. correct me if I am wrong .
I know SAT is widely recognised and highly taken test for undergrad. in united states college admissions. However, ACT on other hand is also recognised and widely taken test.
Talking about the test areas in SAT and ACT : SAT tests more on our vocabulary, reading skills and high school mathematics. ACT test on more real life problems in science, high school math extended to trigonometry and calculus. Till now it's ok!!! But, I really hate biology part in science section. Moreover, I feel I can take both (ofcourse I'm living in a democratic country). There's no restriction to take these test.
So, ppl what do you think abt my decision to take both the tests??? SAT I & II AND ACT.
