I've taken both the ACT and SAT, and I want to find out which of my scores is stronger. Can anyone recommend a reliable and up-to-date score comparison chart for the SAT and ACT? There are so many online, and I'm not sure which ones to trust.
You're right; there are indeed many charts and conversion tools available online. The most reliable and trusted source for comparing ACT and SAT scores is the concordance table provided by the College Board, which is the organization that administers the SAT. The table is updated periodically to reflect the current test structure and scoring trends.
The official College Board ACT-SAT concordance tables can be found at this link: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/guide-2018-act-sat-concordance.pdf
Be sure to use the most recent version of the table, as it provides the most accurate comparison for the current tests. Using this official concordance table, you can accurately determine which of your test scores is stronger, allowing you to decide which score to submit with your college applications. Remember, many colleges will accept both ACT and SAT scores, and some even allow you to "superscore" your results, combining the highest section scores from different test dates.
Best of luck with your college applications!
