SAT essay vs. ACT essay

I don't know I should take SAT I or ACT with writing. Essay writing is my weakness.

What's the difference b/w SAT and ACT essay?

Any experience? advice?

Any books for preparation?

Thanks.

I know SAT's essay is VERY essay if you follow this guide:

12 on SAT in 10 days

Type that in google and you'll see it.

With this I improved from an 8 to a 12.

for me, the ACT essay was actually a bit tougher. it's much less academic (uses issues relevant to most high schoolers) and you really had to back everything up. I got a bunch of 12s on SAT and practice test essays, but I got a 9 on ACT.
