NSF SAT/ACT Coaching
HistorySAT is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. It is an acronym for Scholastic Aptitude Test or Scholastic Assessment Test. It serves as a benchmark assessment for students in the areas of critical reading, mathematical reasoning, and writing skills. It is one of the most recognized test scores for the college admissions process and is an entrance ticket to various institutions in the United States.
Additionally, it is administered by College Board. Likewise, the ACT, American College Testing, is another standardized test for college admissions in the United States. It is equivalent to the SAT and is accepted by all colleges as a method for measuring a student’s aptitude. The ACT has become popular with 59% of high school graduates in 2016 taking and submitting this exam. It is administered by ACT incorporation.
The SAT and ACT have many similarities, in that they both test sections on mathematics, critical reading and writing, including an optional essay. However, the ACT also includes a science reasoning test, which is aimed to assess students on problem solving skills rather than scientific knowledge. Although both tests are very similar in format and style, they are graded differently. Because both tests are accepted by colleges, students have the opportunity to choose which test they are better suited to.
