What are the differences in the format?


So the timing is about the same?

How do the scores work?
The SAT combines the reading section with the writing and language section to create one verbal score (technically called the “evidence-based reading and writing” score) and adds up the math sections to get an overall math score. Each score runs from 200 to 800, for a total between 400 and 1600.

Then median score among SAT test-takers in 2017 was 1055; to score better than 80 percent of your peers, you’d have needed a 1230. (Way more details available from the College Board.)

The ACT gives you a score between 1 and 36 on each section, then averages the four numbers to get your composite score. From 2015 to 2107, the median ACT score was roughly 20; a 26 would outscore 82 percent of test-takers. (Check out the ACT numbers.)
