The ACT is now 125 minutes long, with the Composite Score based on English, Math, and Reading only. Science and Writing are optional.
Neither test is objectively harder. The best pick depends on the student’s strengths. The ACT is now shorter and offers optional Science; the SAT has a different (adaptive) format. Diagnostic testing will determine the better fit. Know more
There’s no limit; however, taking more than 4 attempts is not recommended. Most learners take it twice for the best score, and Tutela’s program covers 2 attempts.
The average global score is ~21. Top universities look for 32+, while Ivy League admits often score between 34–35.
No preference. Both are equally accepted. Students should choose based on their strengths.

La Martiniere for Boys, Kolkata, India
I had only a couple of weeks left for my SAT Physics Subject Test. The teacher was very accommodating of the time crunch that I had. Even with the minimal time, he was abimal time, he was able to teach all the topics thoroughly and effectively. By the end of the course, I actually had time left for taking many practice tests. As for AP Physics, I started out with absolutely no prior knowledge of many topics. The teache, Mr. Ashish, was able to adjust his pace of teaching with my pace and understanding of topics. He gave plenty of examples to explain the concepts. I never felt that I was preparing for the test on my own. Whenever I needed help, I could ask my instructor and he would respond within minutes.
