It is meant to test your readingis tested.and reasoning skills, based upon agiven set of fact. Test Dates/DeadlinesSAT tests algebra and geometrysubjects are tested, in comparison toscience and trigonometry. Waivers Mentor ExperiencesTest more advanced math concepts.Requires you to know a littletrigonometry. That said, the ACT Mathsection is not necessarily harder, sincemany students find the questions to bemore straightforward than those on theSAT.SAT College admissions officers care The ACT is more of a “big picture”about how you did on each section of exam.So if you are weak in one content areathe SAT.but strong in others, you could still endup with a very good ACT score.
