Hi there! My older sibling scored a 2100 on the old SAT, and I want to find out what that would be on the new SAT format. Does anyone know of a reliable conversion chart or tool I can use to figure this out? Thanks in advance!
Hi! Converting an old SAT score (2400 scale) to the new format (1600 scale) can be done with the help of a conversion tool provided by the College Board themselves. The College Board created a comprehensive concordance table that allows you to look up an old SAT score and see its equivalent in the new SAT format. You can find the concordance table here: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/higher-ed-brief-sat-concordance.pdf
To give you a quick example, using the table provided, an old SAT score of 2100 would be approximately equivalent to a 1400 on the new SAT format. Be sure to check the table to verify this for yourself, as there may be slight variations depending on the individual section scores.
Keep in mind that the new SAT has a different structure and scoring system, so the conversion may not perfectly represent how your sibling would have performed on the new test. Nevertheless, the concordance table provides a solid approximation. Good luck!
