Introduced in the 1960s, the ACT has become a viable alternative to the SAT when it comes to college admissions testing. Comprised of four mandatory sections (English, Math, Reading, Science) and one optional (Writing), the ACT is not only structured differently from the SAT, but also shorter.

In total, with the optional writing section, the ACT sections take 2 hours and 55 minutes to complete. Once breaks and test administration time are added in, students can expect to spend four hours on the ACT. The following amount of time is spent on each section: English, 45 minutes Math, 60 minutes Reading, 35 minutes Science, 35 minutes Writing, 30 minutes In comparison, the SAT takes 3 hours and 45 minutes to complete all ten sections. With breaks and test administration time added in, students can expect to spend almost five hours on the SAT.

The actual test is geared to last 3 hours and 45 minutes. However, depending on the amount of studying you have done, it could take as little as three hours or as long as five.
