How do The ACT Math/Science tests and The SAT Math test compare?

The questions on the ACT math test cover a wider area than those on the SAT math test and tend to go into less depth. The time constraints on the math section of the ACT are tighter than the SAT. On the ACT you have 50 minutes to answer 45 questions. On the SAT you have 70 minutes to answer 44 questions, which are split into 2 modules of 22 questions each. The ACT has an optional science section (the SAT does not) consisting of 40 questions that must be answered in 40 minutes. Unlike the ACT, the SAT math test is adaptive, meaning that the difficulty level of subsequent questions depends on how you are well you are performing on the test.
