How to Convert ACT Scores to Equivalent SAT Scores?

I just got my ACT score back, but I'm struggling to find a reliable method to convert it to an equivalent SAT score. Can someone point me in the direction of a resource that can help me do this conversion? Thanks!

To convert your ACT score to an equivalent SAT score, you can use the official concordance tables provided by the College Board and ACT. The concordance tables will help you find the corresponding SAT score for a specific ACT score, and vice versa.

Here's a rough guideline to give you an idea of how the scores correlate:

- ACT 36 ~ SAT 1600

- ACT 35 ~ SAT 1540

- ACT 34 ~ SAT 1500

- ACT 33 ~ SAT 1460

- ACT 32 ~ SAT 1430

- ACT 31 ~ SAT 1400

- ACT 30 ~ SAT 1370

Keep in mind that these conversions are approximate, and colleges might use different conversions according to their internal requirements or policies. To access the most accurate and updated information, I would strongly recommend referring to the official concordance tables available on the College Board and ACT websites.

It's important to note that some colleges may have a preference for either the SAT or the ACT. Make sure to check the admissions requirements of the schools you're applying to for any specific instructions on standardized testing. However, most colleges in the U.S. accept both test scores equally and will use the concordance tables themselves to compare the scores of applicants.
