SAT or ACT?

March 3, 2015 By Y3K

Dear Y3K Tutor In Your Home,

Which test is easier the SAT or ACT?

Thanks,

Sarah G.

Wellesley, MA

Hi Sarah,

Your question is a great one and one we are asked all the time. The answer to your question will definitely be of interest to our 1,000’s of readers. Each of these standardized tests has their positives and negatives. The short answer is that these tests have slightly different requirements so you would want to choose the test that plays into your student’s strengths. For example one test requires science while the other test requires writing an essay. Check back here tomorrow as we will tell you exactly what you need to know about the SAT and ACT to help you decide which test would be best.

Sincerely,

Y3K Tutor In Your Home

“The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner tutors both my 7th grade son and my 3rd grade daughter. Their skills have rocketed leaps and bounds under his patient and careful tutelage. My daughter was behind in her math skills for 3rd grade at the beginning of the year and I just came from her school conference where her teacher told me her math skills have quadrupled since the beginning of the year. We owe it all to Y3K services! Both of my children have benefited greatly from Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s tutoring. Highly recommend!!”
