Which College entrance exam has the least amount of math problems to work? ​
taurus [48]

Answer:

SAT

Step-by-step explanation:

The two main college entrance exams are the SAT and ACT which are used for almost all colleges in the United States. Between these two the SAT has a lesser focus on math in general. Instead, the SAT tends to focus more on word problems and the process taken to solve them. This does not mean that it has no math at all, there is still a math section on the SAT's but it is not as extensive as in the ACT's.
