So I took the SAT and got a 980. I'm considering taking the ACT instead, but I would like to know what my current SAT score would be equivalent to on the ACT. Can anyone help me with a conversion? Thanks!
To convert your SAT score to the ACT equivalent, you can use a concordance table provided by the College Board and ACT organizations. Based on that information, an SAT score of 980 roughly translates to an ACT composite score of 18.
Keep in mind that the tests' format and focus areas are different, and some students might perform better on one test over the other. It's important to familiarize yourself with both exams and determine which one suits your strengths better. You can take a few practice tests for both SAT and ACT to see which format works best for you before committing to retake the exam.
Good luck with your test preparations!
