Hey everyone! I just got my ACT results and I got a 32. I'm curious, how does that score translate to the SAT? What would be the equivalent SAT score for a 32 ACT?
Hello! Congrats on your 32 ACT score; that's a great accomplishment! When it comes to comparing ACT scores to SAT scores, it's important to remember that the conversion is not exact, but there are concordance tables that give a close approximation.
According to the established concordance tables, a 32 ACT score is roughly equivalent to an SAT score of 1420-1440. Keep in mind that slight variations in the comparison might occur, but this should give you a fairly accurate idea of the SAT score range corresponding to your ACT score.
It's also good to remember the intended purpose behind this comparison—some students may take both the SAT and ACT and use the concordance tables to guide them on which test score to send to colleges, especially when the score differences are substantial.
Additionally, some colleges and scholarships may only provide cutoffs or average scores for one test, so converted scores can help you understand where you stand.
Best of luck with your college applications!
