ACT to SAT Equivalent Chart?

I've taken both the ACT and SAT but I'm not sure which one is a better reflection of my abilities. Does anyone happen to know of a reliable ACT to SAT conversion chart, so I can compare my scores more easily?

You can use the official concordance table provided by the College Board and ACT to compare your ACT and SAT scores. Here's a brief summary of some key scores to give you an idea:

ACT | SAT

--- | ---

36 | 1600

35 | 1570-1590

34 | 1530-1560

33 | 1490-1520

32 | 1450-1480

31 | 1420-1440

30 | 1390-1410

29 | 1350-1380

28 | 1310-1340

27 | 1280-1300

26 | 1240-1270

25 | 1210-1230

24 | 1170-1200

23 | 1130-1160

22 | 1100-1120

21 | 1060-1090

Keep in mind that while this table provides an accurate representation in most cases, individual colleges and universities may use their own conversion methods. In your application, you should send the score that you believe reflects your abilities the most accurately or is closer to the average admitted score of the school(s) you're aiming for.

As you compare your scores, also consider the test format and which one you felt more comfortable with, as you may want to retake one of the tests to potentially improve your score. Good luck!
