ACT or SAT easier to improve for math challenged

Hmmmm. I think ACT. It is more straightforward, and the only real issue is speed. Repeated drilling of actual questions should yield some decent results.

By contrast, the SAT - although the level of math is no more difficult and might even be a touch easier than the ACT - likes to test the concepts in tricky ways, sometime using convoluted language that requires multiple steps. There are many ways to ask the same sort of question once you start using tricky language, so repeated drilling will be more hit and miss in my opinion.

Curious to hear what others’ thoughts are on this.
