About the Exam

What Is the ACT?

If you've searched "what is ACT exam" or "ACT vs SAT," here's the answer: the ACT is a standardised college admissions test accepted by all US colleges, alongside the SAT. It measures English, Math, Reading, and Science skills through four required sections plus an optional Writing (essay) section, and is scored on a composite scale of 1–36.

The ACT and SAT complement each other — many topics overlap, so preparing for one gives an edge on the other. Official ACT/SAT concordance tables let students and counsellors compare scores across the two exams, though a concorded score is not a perfect predictor of performance on the other test.

ACT vs SAT

ACT vs SAT — Understanding Concordance

The ACT and College Board occasionally produce ACT/SAT concordance tables showing how scores on each test compare. Following the 2016 SAT redesign, researchers from the College Board and ACT — working with the NCAA Technical Advisory Board — created refreshed, statistically sound concordance tables.

💡
What "Concordance" Really Means: "Concordance" means setting up a connection between scores on two different exams so they're comparable, though not identical measures. A concorded score is not a perfect prediction of how a student would perform on the other test — it's a useful reference point, not a guarantee, when deciding whether to prepare for ACT, SAT, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About ACT Prep 2026?

A composite score of 34–36 is considered highly competitive for Ivy League and other top-tier US universities, while 28–33 is strong for most selective schools. EduQuest's coaching is built around helping students reach the 34–36 target band.

Neither is inherently harder — they test overlapping but differently structured content. The ACT includes a dedicated Science section and moves faster overall, while the SAT places more weight on evidence-based reading and (in its digital format) uses adaptive testing. Many students perform better on one after taking a diagnostic test of both.

EduQuest recommends a minimum of 90 hours of structured coaching, typically spread over 3–6 months depending on your starting score band (Platinum, Gold, or Silver) and target composite score.

Yes — ACT online coaching India is available alongside in-person classroom coaching in Gurgaon, with the same faculty, study material, and full-length mock test access.

No. There is no penalty for incorrect answers on the ACT, so attempting every question is always the right strategy.
