Are ACT syllabus and SAT syllabus the same?

<p>Both the SAT and the ACT evaluate high school-level abilities in subjects including writing, math, and reading. The substance and organisation, however, differ noticeably. The ACT incorporates a Science portion that evaluates data analysis and critical thinking in scientific situations, but the SAT has more of an emphasis on evidence-based reading and writing with a focus on data interpretation and reasoning. While the ACT covers a wider range of topics, including more geometry and trigonometry, the SAT places more emphasis on algebra and data analysis with some advanced math. Furthermore, compared to the ACT, the SAT often has less time pressure because it allots more time for each question. Students can select the test that best suits their strengths by being aware of these differences.</p>

<p>No, there is a slight difference in ACT and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.shiksha.com/studyabroad/exams/sat/syllabus" rel="noopener">SAT syllabus</a>. There is a Science section in ACT while there is no separate Science section in SAT. The ACT syllabus includes an essay writing question too which is optional but SAT doesn't have any essay types questions tested. Also there are subject tests in ACT but subject tests are not tested on SAT anymore. The ACT math section requires calculator use in some sections but SAT has allowed the use of calculators for throughout the Maths section.</p>
