BUSINESS- ESSAY:We compared both ACT and SAT and defined that the ACT is for students good at thinking fast and working under pressure, while the SAT is better for those who prefer more moderately-paced thinking. And we also included study tips for each section of these tests with the preparation resources (free and paid). https://business-essay.com/blog/sat-and-act-whats-the-difference-how-to-prepare-for-both-exams-guide-2022/.
