ACT

Prep material for ACT exam is to aid students in their preparation for the exam. Thus, applicants should not keep any expectations like - if the questions they come across in ACT prep material will come as it is in the ACT exam or if the questions are the same as that of ACT prep material, maybe the options maybe shuffled in the main paper. The material will only help students in gaining momentum for their exam preparation and based on their preparation, they will be able to appear for the main exam confidently.

Yes, it is okay to rely on online test prep material for ACT exam preparation. But the only condition is to check out only those resources that are either available on the official website of ACT or if they are available elsewhere but have a recognition of their courses offered. Applicants must beware of scams and avoid falling into their trap and losing out on money. Check ACT website regularly for updates and also for official ACT prep material available.

You must take the ACT test at least 2 months beforeyour university and scholarship's application deadline dates. The ACT test scores start releasing in fragments (based on tasks) from 2 days of taking the exam.

Yes, in order to appear for ACT exam on another date, you will have to register for ACT again and choose another date, test centre and pay the fee again. Whatsoever may the reason be for not appearing for a given ACT exam date, to appear on another ACT exam date, the applicant will have to go through the entire process all over again. 

Yes, there is an option to interchange an ACT exam date chosen with a future exam date. Students will have to pay an additional amount for interchanging or changing ACT exam date. It is always better to choose one ACT exam date and stick to it and avoid cancelling or changing the exam date as it requires a fee for every request. Thus, register for ACT in one go with final dates in mind. 

In case an applicant misses the final registration date or late registration window of ACT exam date, then they have no other choice but to wait for the registration window to open for the next set of ACT exam dates. The late registration window is the last resort for a particular ACT exam date and if things don't work out, the applicant will have to apply for the next upcoming ACT exam date.

It depends on the college where you are planning to apply, if they ask you to send all the scores then you need to send them all ACT test scores. And if they ask you to send the latest ACT score taken on a recent date then you need to send them. Generally, candidates have the choice to select which scores they want to send. Also, some colleges consider your the highest scores for admission, so, even if you got less score in the latest exam it won't hurt your application.

The preparation for SAT and ACT depends on the applicants and how they plan to work on their syllabus. For those, who wish to submit either SAT or ACT scores will have to first check what suits them the best and then begin their preparations. The SAT preparation may seem easier for those who are more inclined towards reading and logical reasoning. Whereas, those who have a practical plus logical bent of mind will find ACT exam preparation easier. But again the ease of preparation completely depends on the applicant and on his/her previous knowledge. 

There is only one way to check if SAT or ACT is easier by attempting one mock test on each exam. For those who have a strong point in Maths without calculators and a good hold in Science then they should go for ACT. However, those who have a good command over the English language, but not very confident on Science and are able to handle maths with calculators, can go for SAT exam. The choice ultimately relies with the applicant in question. 

The applicants must choose the standardised test for undergraduate admissions based on his or her choice. The only way to choose SAT or ACT is to first check their syllabus and exam pattern, understand which one is easier for you and then decide on one. Begin your preparation for SAT or ACT based on your research and knowledge and do attempt mocks before appearing for the main exam on the designated test date.
