Note: The two tests are very similar to each other.
The ACT measures your achievement in core academic areas important for your college readiness and career success: Math, English, Science, Reading and Language (Grammar).
The College Board claims that the redesigned SAT, introduced in Spring 2016, is an achievement test rather than an aptitude test. An achievement test assesses how well you have mastered important knowledge and skills. The ACT or SAT does not measure your intrinsic intelligence. Therefore, Ivy can effectively facilitate in boosting your English and math skills to obtain the test scores required for admittance into your preferred university or college.
