Which test is best for you/ your child? The SAT and ACT cover largely the same material in a pretty similar manner. However, there are some differences that may provide an advantage to some students.

The ACT has an entire science section while the SAT only contains a science passage on the reading section. Neither the SAT nor ACT test your prior science knowledge, but rather your ability to interpret scientific information that is given.
The pacing (time per question) on the ACT is faster than on the SAT. Students have to answer more questions in a shorter time on the ACT.
The SAT reading section gives questions in chronological order with the passage, while the ACT reading section does not.
SAT reading questions focus heavily on identifying evidence in the passage that supports a claim. Questions of this type don’t appear on the ACT reading section.
The SAT essay (50 minutes) asks you to read an essay and evaluate the structure, arguments, and evidence relied on by the author. The ACT essay (40 minutes) asks you to analyze different points of view on an issue, state your position, and support it with evidence. Both essays are optional but recommended.
The ACT math section tests some topics, such as trigonometry, more frequently and in-depth than the SAT math section does. However, some students find SAT math questions to be worded in a trickier way than ACT math questions, which tend to be a bit more straightforward.
The SAT has one math section that prohibits the use of calculators. The ACT allows calculators for the entire math section.
The ACT math section covers more geometry than the SAT math sections.
The SAT math sections provide a reference guide with some formulas, while the ACT math section does not.
Math scores on the SAT are half of your overall score, while on the ACT they make up 25% of your overall score.
ACT math questions have 5 answer choices, while SAT math questions have 4. This means your chances of guessing the correct answer are higher for SAT math questions (25%) than ACT math questions (20%).
The SAT has some math questions that are fill-in-the-blank, while the ACT math section is all multiple choice.
