ACT没考成，九月改革在即，是否该转战SAT？
SAT has been reformed twice, or triple if the 2021 reform counts, since 2013 when I first started to help my students prepare for this test. The question types have changed: some were deleted and then added back, some were added and retained. But the focus has always been on testing the critical thinking of the test takers. So, thinking quality is the key; each question tries to make you RACK YOUR BRAIN.
自 2013 年我开始帮助学生备考SAT以来，这项考试已经进行了两次改革，如果算上 2021 年的那次，那就是三次了。题型有所变化：有些被删掉了，后来又加了回来，有些则是新增的并保留了下来。但重点始终在于考查考生的批判性思维能力。所以，思维质量是关键；每道题都试图让你绞尽脑汁。
ACT is a little bit different. To ace ACT reading, the key point is to be FAST, NOT to THINK HARD. But, if it has such a different emphasis, how can it be a reliable and effective alternative to the competing SAT? ACT 则稍有不同。要在 ACT 阅读部分取得高分，关键在于要快，而不是苦思冥想。但是，如果它有如此不同的侧重点，那它又如何能成为与 SAT 竞争的可靠且有效的替代品呢？
and the whole test lasts for about 4 hours!
而且整个考试要持续约 4 个小时！
Probably that is why ACT will introduce and implement a newly reformed ACT in September. It will be like this. 或许这就是为什么 ACT 将在 9 月推出并实施全新改革后的 ACT 考试。它将会是这样的。
Time in total is shortened; science becomes optional. This is quite understandable: If I have AP to proof and highlight my specialties, why should I take Science? to stay in front of the computer for another 40 minutes?
总时间缩短了；科学课成了可选考。这完全可以理解：如果我有 AP 课程来证明并突出我的专长，那我为什么还要选科学课呢？还要在电脑前多坐 40 分钟？
As for the READING part, the number is reduced, yet the time becomes longer. That means each question's difficulty level will increase; otherwise, it does not make sense. In other words, you need not just to SPOT the information, but to THINK ABOUT it.
至于阅读部分，题量减少了，但时间却变长了。这意味着每道题的难度会增加，否则就没有意义了。换句话说，你不仅要找到信息，还要对其进行思考。
But, presumably，
不过，推测起来
ACT will reform again. The reformed ACT reading to be launched in September is more like the old SAT reading, before its 2023 reform; and the SAT is quite popular both among American students and international students.
美国大学入学考试（ACT）将会再次改革。将于 9 月推出的改革后的 ACT reading更像 2023 年改革前的老版 SAT reading，而 SAT 在美国学生和国际学生中都颇受欢迎。
SAT or ACT, it depends on you!
