About the ACT
The ACT evaluates a student’s learning ability and comprehensive knowledge through four sections: Math, Science, Social Studies, and English. The composite score is an average of these sub-scores, excluding the optional essay.
Why Some Students Excel on the ACT:
- Includes a science section
- Calculator allowed on all math questions
- Reading sections are more straightforward
About the SAT®
The SAT® is a reasoning test designed to measure college readiness, comprising Reading/Writing and Math sections that combine for a composite score. SAT® scores are used by colleges to compare applicants fairly.
Why Some Students Excel on the SAT®:
- No science section
- Ideal for strong readers
- Slower pace compared to the ACT
About the PSAT
The PSAT suite of assessments is aimed at 8th-11th graders (PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and PSAT). The primary purpose of the PSAT is to familiarize 11th graders with SAT content and establish a baseline score. While considered a “practice” SAT®, preparation may be beneficial in certain cases.
