Trying to decide which test to take? SAT or ACT? Here are the basic differences between the tests:

The SAT is critical thinking and problem solving based
The ACT includes a science reasoning test, the SAT does not.
The ACT math section includes trigonometry.
The SAT tests vocabulary more than the ACT.
The SAT is not entirely multiple choice.
The SAT has a guessing penalty, the ACT does not.
The ACT tests English grammar, the SAT does not.
