ACT and SAT passages are really important. So it's important that you pay attention while preparing for them. There are six important parameters of an ACT and SAT passage -
Length.
Number of passages.
Genres.
Order.
Graphics.
Difficulty.
ACT and SAT passages are around 800-1000 words. The SAT Reading test has five passages, and the ACT contains four. ACT passages can be classified into genres but SAT passages are not labelled. The order of the passage cannot be labelled. SAT contains visuals whereas ACT is purely textual. Although the difficulty remains the same for both ACT and SAT, ACT passages are longer and multi-layered.
