Both the SAT and the ACT evaluate high school-level abilities in subjects including writing, math, and reading. The substance and organisation, however, differ noticeably. The ACT incorporates a Science portion that evaluates data analysis and critical thinking in scientific situations, but the SAT has more of an emphasis on evidence-based reading and writing with a focus on data interpretation and reasoning.

There are 98 questions in total. 54 questions for reading and writing. 44 questions for math. It is very fast. The modules have a set time limit. Much better than the old long test.

Sending score reports to colleges up to five years after giving the test needs to be retrieved from the archives. The candidates need to pay $35 if they want to send SAT scores they took more than a year ago. Candidates also need to pay an additional score report fee every time they wish to send their old reports to the colleges. Further, the candidates cannot order old SAT scores online through the College Board, this can be done only through their customer support number or mail.

If someone has not appeared for the SAT for more than a year then those scores get archived. If someone wants to report the archived scores to the colleges or universities then they need to retrieve the scores. They can be ordered by phone or mail. Candidates need to pay a $35 fee for retrieving the old SAT scores, also the standard fee for additional score reports i.e. $14 needs to be paid for each order along with the Archived fee. So, the total amount comes out to be $49 per old SAT score report.

This is the best thing. Colleges take your best Math score and best English score from different days. They combine them. You get a higher total score. Not all colleges do it, but many do. It helps you a lot.

With Score Choice, one gets the freedom to report the score he/she chooses to send to colleges. The candidate can choose the score report by test date or by individual test for SAT Subject Tests. However, before sending the scores always make sure to check with the college or the scholarship program to which you are applying, as many colleges and scholarship programs require students to send all their scores. If the candidate doesn’t select Score Choice then College Board will send all the available scores of the candidate to the colleges which he/she has selected as score recipients.
