hi amir,

thanks for sending your question! we’ll do what we can to help.

between the sat and the act, there isn’t really one test that’s easier or harder than the other. they are designed to test pretty similar concepts, but in somewhat different ways. both tests require a good command of the english language, knowledge of high-school level math, and reading comprehension skills.

we have prepared a quiz to help you decide which test might be the better fit for you. check it out here!

as far as what scores and documentation you will need, it would be best to contact each university individually and find out their requirements.

magoosh wishes you luck, amir! 🙂

hi gannon!

the act score you need really depends on the schools that you’re interested in! our expertise is in test prep, not admissions advice, so i’m afraid we aren’t the best people to answer this question. i recommend that you reach out to the admissions counselors and some of the schools that you’re interested in to get the best answer. 🙂 our college admissions blog might be a good place to start though:

hi surya,

that is a difficult question and really depends on your own personal strengths and weaknesses! we do have some resources that can help you to determine which test is best for you. you can check out this infographic and our ultimate guide to choosing the right test. i hope this helps!

hi destany,

if you’re looking to take the act, first start with this article: the most important things to study for the act. the act is a long test that covers a lot of different topics, but fortunately you don’t have to become an expert overnight! with time and dedication, and by diligently following a study plan, you can improve a little bit each day and go into your test confident and well prepared!

if you want to get a better sense of what we have to offer, i would suggest signing up for our free 1-week act trial. this will allow you to see how the site works and try out a selection of lesson videos and practice questions. you should also know that if you buy a full membership, you’re protected by our 7-day money-back guarantee—contact us within a week of your purchase and we’ll give you a full refund for any reason. good luck! 🙂
