    The pattern for both ACT and SAT  examination similar and both the examination hold equal value. 

    There is no comparison of which one is easy, it totally depends upon the strength of the candidates. 

    ACT has a Science section that need a well understanding and quick pace however SAT is more of a math based examination. 

    The duration of SAT is three hours while that of ACT is two hours and forty five minutes. 

    SAT question paper is divided into sections - Reading, Writing and Language, Calculative and non calculative math. 

    ACT question paper is divided into sections - English, Math, Reading and Science.

  • There is no such comparison that can be drawn between ACT or SAT difficulty levels. While ACT focuses more on Maths section plus Reading and Writing with an analytical bend, SAT on the other hand is more about understanding and then answering the questions of Math & Reading + Writing. The difficulty of the exams depends upon the applicant's preparation and what choice they make between ACT or SAT. It is all about the applicant's knowledge and how he/she perceives the test they wish to take.
