Hello all. I plan on appearing for the SAT / ACT soon (I'm still sort of on the fence between the two), and I've heard that the SAT English difficulty level is absolutely brutal. This is tipping the scales in favor of ACT, but then I've also heard that scoring in ACT writing can prove to be very challenging in itself, and now choosing between the two has become a daunting task for me. I'm currently doing A Levels and I've had a decent academic performance in English so far, and I'm doing quite well in Maths and the sciences. I've consulted my teachers and they've said that I should not fret too much about it, but I have a strong aversion to language tests, simply because I feel that grading them comes somewhere under the jurisdiction of subjectivity, and hence I might get a lower score because my piece of writing did not particularly appeal to the examiner (and also because I'm not too confident about linguistic skills either :P ). The relative importance given to them could potentially be a deciding factor for me. Any advice is appreciated.
