A: ACT and SAT are both American college entrance examinations, which are necessary conditions for admission and scholarships in American universities. The focus of the two exams is different.
First, the difficulty of the exam:
ACT focuses on what students have learned in school, which has a high correlation with senior high school curriculum and is more suitable for the examination characteristics of senior high school students in China. SAT test focuses on students' logical reasoning ability and language application ability, which requires students' critical thinking ability. This is too difficult for students who were born in Chinese mainland and experienced a typical China education.
Second, grasp the branch:
ACT exam subjects include English, reading, mathematics and science. 2 articles and 2 sciences, SAT subjects include English, writing and mathematics. 2 Literature 1 Science, ACT has one more science than SAT, and one more subject for China students to score points. In addition, the SAT is scored backwards, and ACT answers wrong questions without scoring or deducting points. It is more in line with the characteristics of students' examinations in China. After studying the official ACT course systematically, it is easier to get satisfactory results.
Third, the examination content:
SAT mathematics includes the contents of junior mathematics courses in American universities, such as matrix, statistics, probability analysis and so on. Examining students' abstract thinking ability, the difficulty of act math test is basically equivalent to the level of China Level 3 1; ACT has science subjects, which is where China students can give full play to their advantages in science and physics. As long as junior high school students have a solid foundation, they can get close to full marks in the exam.
Four. Curtain swings by sitting in China:
ACT is promoted as an authorized teaching center in China. Under the guidance of the official ACT, all foreign teachers in Britain can study arts and sciences for 9- 12 months. Students can take the ACT test at the same time as American students in the authorization center. However, there is no officially authorized institution for SAT in China. All training and learning institutions can carry out training under the same conditions in China, and students need to go to Hong Kong or Singapore to take the exam.
