The ACT is a different sort of test than the SAT. Take the SAT, subtract some of the difficult reasoning, add some further content (e.g., trigonometry to the math, rhetorical skills to the writing/English), add a science section focused on interpreting data, and you’ve got the ACT. Also, the ACT’s essay is optional, and only some schools require or recommend it.

In some states, the ACT is preferred. While Virginia is generally an SAT state, its schools also accept the ACT. Who is the ideal candidate to take the ACT instead of the SAT? A student who struggled on the PSAT but has generally done well in school. This sort of student may find the ACT a little more user-friendly.
