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.
