ACT Prep Courses in Sacramento (California)

While the ACT tends to be defined in comparison to the SAT, it is an increasingly popular exam that is accepted at nearly every university that also accepts the SAT. The differences in formatting mean that students should look into the differences between the exams in order to help them decide which would be the best to take for the college admissions process. Regardless of which exam the student prefers, Manhattan Review has been helping students with their standardized test preparation since 1999 and has a wide variety of study options available for students who choose to take the ACT exam.
