The ACT is an achievement test, while the SAT is more of an aptitude test. I hope this is the information you need and it also helps me to understand both terms.

There are differences in the set up and the content, but overall they test the same things. The main difference which should determine which one you take is where you plan on going to college.

How does the ACT compare to the SAT?

Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 with 2400 being the highest possible combined score. The ACT, on the other hand, scores each section on a scale of 1 to 36. Your total composite score is the average of all four sections of the test. However, there is no official conversion chart between the ACT and SAT. The average score in 2007 for the ACT was a 21, for SAT it was a 1500. US Geography-wise the tests differ like an Oreo. SAT being the chocolate cookies and the ACT being the creamy filling. The east and west coasts favor the SAT but the midwest and south favors the ACT. Although all colleges except each, I would still take and work harder at getting a better score in the more favored test of whatever state or region you are wanting to attend. Mmm... now I'm hungry. Both the SAT and ACT include an essay, but the key difference is that the essay on the SAT is mandatory while the ACT essay is optional. If you plan on taking the ACT make sure you check with your prospect
