Online testing takes place only at designated testing centers on desktop computers or other devices provided for them. ACT has been offering online testing in schools since 2016 and in international test centers since 2018.
A 28 means you've scored better than 88% of students, and a 30 means you've scored better than 93% of them! Anything 35 or above is in the 99th percentile—a truly phenomenal score.
There are many other differences between the SAT and the ACT. English on the SAT focuses on writing style, while the ACT may ask more questions about the grammar and sentence structure. So when “Is the ACT easier than the SAT?” is asked, there is really no true answer.
