<p>ACT is knowledge-based, moreso what you learn directly in school
SAT is reasoning-based, moreso what you learn implicitly in school (if at all)</p>

<p>Generally, schools in the northeast and California utilize the SAT moreso than the ACT; vice versa in the midwest and south.</p>

<p>How’s the science section? I didn’t even know it had one until this morning. Is it more science logic and knowledge?</p>

<p>It’s reasoning. You don’t exactly NEED to know the materal in advance, but it helps a lot because you will be able to grasp concepts more easily and you can skip the background info and go straight to the questions.</p>
