ACT or SAT easier to improve for math challenged

I would have agreed with the above until D21 started testing. She’s not a math whiz, but not weak in math at all. She’s found after doing some tutoring for the SAT, it’s not as much the math as the reading. Working with the tutor, she’s realized she can pull out key words and phrases in the math that tip her off and don’t actually require more advanced math skills. We’ll see -she’s taking it again in March.
She initially didn’t have a preference after taking practice ACT and SAT, then after a real ACT said the SAT was much easier.
