ACT to SAT Conversion: What's a 32 ACT Equivalent in SAT Score?

Hey everyone! I recently got a 32 on my ACT, and I'm considering taking the SAT as well. Can someone tell me what the SAT equivalent of a 32 ACT score is? I want to know if it's worth trying the SAT or if my ACT score is competitive enough. Thanks!

Hello! Congratulations on your 32 ACT score! To convert a 32 ACT composite score to an SAT equivalent, you can reference an ACT-SAT concordance table, which is published jointly by the ACT and College Board. Based on the official concordance table, a 32 ACT composite score is roughly equivalent to a 1420-1450 SAT composite score.

The decision to take the SAT or not depends on the colleges and universities you're interested in applying to. Check the average SAT and ACT scores of accepted students at your target schools to get an idea of whether your 32 ACT composite score is within their typical range. If you find that your score is competitive, you may decide not to take the SAT. However, if you feel that your SAT score could potentially be higher, it might be worth giving the test a shot.

It's worth noting that some students perform better on one test over the other. So, even if your ACT score is already competitive, trying the SAT might still be a good idea if you believe you may perform better on the style of questions that the SAT presents.

Good luck with your decision and future college admissions process!
