Why do girls get lower SAT scores on average than boys?

<p>I just browsed through this topic, and it appears all about the SAT. However, the SAT is only one test used for college admission, and the types of analysis skills it requires may be different from the ACT. Does anyone have info about gender differences on the ACT? I’m betting that, since they are different types of tests, girls probably do better in relation to guys.</p>
