@Hermit9 Your statement is false. The ACT is by no means any easier than the SAT. The fact that it has time constraints does indeed make it a harder test.

For me personally the ACT was easier though. I am indeed a hard worker and I take a heck load of AP classes every year. So the ACT came much more naturally to me because of this. I spent a year and half on my SAT prep, but the highest score I got was a 2140. Then starting from this March I was finally introduced to the ACT. I had never seen one before and I was already 3/4 of my way through junior year! It was extremely late for me to begin ACT. But by doing endless practices I soon got used to the format of the ACT. The June 2015 ACT came out for me just I while ago and I ended up scoring a 35.25(one question off a 36).

So ultimately I truly believe these tests are physiological and how your mind works. Some people can do both and achieve a lot. But for me, the hard-working high school nerd the ACT was the way to go.
