Most colleges, but not all, use the ACT to award scholarships and to admit students to their programs. Though changes to the ACT are happening, it is always a good idea to prepare for the ACT with practice tests, study guides, and flashcards like the ones available through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/act\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peterson\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

However, the SAT is now fully digital without the option to take it on paper. For this reason and others, you may find that either the SAT or ACT test will better suit you. Here are some things to consider between the two tests:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SAT and ACT tests are about the same length of time for testing, 2 hours, once the ACT is updated in Spring 2025<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You receive a STEM score to provide to colleges with the ACT, the SAT doesn\u2019t yet have this capability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ACT has an optional writing test to showcase critical writing and communication skills to colleges and universities\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SAT has fewer sections, but the sections are longer. The ACT has more sections with a slightly longer overall testing time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the ACT test changes of shorter test days, optional science and writing, STEM scoring, and the option to take the test digitally or via paper, we hope that the ACT\u2019s goal of helping you have the best test day will come to fruition\u2014 highlighting your dedication and learning. Take advantage of these changes by making your test day curated to you and your future ambitions.
