Is the ACT or SAT better for you?

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Columnist for the Charlotte Observer Lee Bierer gives tips on which test to take and test strategies for both.

“SAT fits student who …

  • Did well on the PSAT with little or no prep work.
  • Is a strong reader with a good vocabulary.
  • Has good recall for historical or literature examples for the essay.
  • Possesses strong deductive reasoning and is test-savvy.
  • Is focused and good at puzzles.
  • Has ear for languages; easily identifies sentence errors.
  • Is a bright underachiever.

“ACT fits student who …

  • Did well on the PLAN (the PSAT for the ACT).
  • Earned a PSAT score that is inconsistent with grades and effort.
  • Reads fast but is not so strong in vocabulary.
  • Knows grammar and punctuation.
  • Performs well academically but is likely to experience test anxiety.
  • Is a “book-smart overachiever” but not the best test-taker.
  • Is great at writing argumentative essays about everyday issues.
  • Works quickly – more questions and less time, but less reasoning required.”
