| Does not test in the field of science | Tests science knowledge |
| Tests advance mathematics concepts: algebra 1 & 2, geometry, and some trigonometry | |
| Greater use of nuances and inferences | More straightforward use of language |
| 25 minute essay is REQUIRED | 30 minute essay is OPTIONAL (is viewd as a separate score from test) |
| Each section is scored separately | Based on a composite score; more of a "big picture" |
| Good for short attention spans |
