PLEASE ONLY RESPOND IF YOU HAVE TAKEN EITHER STANDARDIZED TESTS.
I am taking the ACT in June 14 this year (right now in 11th grade), and then I'll take the SAT in the fall (as a 12th grader)
so I was wondering is there ay advantage, or differences, or anything that makes one test easier/different from the other or are they both the same.
BTW I have another question, AND PLEASE ONLY RESPOND IF YOU EVER TOOK IT.
Have any of you guys ever taken AP World History test, I have to take that test in May 15th (Thursday), so I was wondering if I can get any advice for that.

I took the ACT it was freakin hard and I made an 18, I was disappointed and i've killed the Texas Standardized test every year (TASK Test with the "No Child Left Behind.") I didn't think the Math was that hard but the English and crap I guess I was too slow of a reader, I couldn't read fast enough.

I have the opposite problem, I suck at MATH, and I am pretty good in English.

Well in normal classes I agree with you, I'm pretty good in English (I was always few questions away from getting "recognized" on the little Texas Test) and maybe average in Math (I didn't pass it by a bunch, like 10 questions.) On the ACT you have to read like paragraphs then answer questions just like most classes, but with the time limit I couldn't focus and I kept freaking out. Maybe I'm just a slow good reader? I don't know but I would try to get your reading speed up for it if you want to practice. It's not that hard if they didn't have the time limits.
