What's the equivalent of a 28 on the ACT to SAT scores?

I just received my ACT scores and I got a 28. I was wondering what the SAT equivalent of this score is? I'm trying to decide if I should apply to colleges requiring SAT scores or stick with my ACT score. Is a 28 on the ACT good enough for most colleges, or should I consider taking the SAT as well?

A 28 on the ACT is roughly equivalent to a 1310-1320 on the SAT. This is a solid score and places you in the top 10% nationally. For most colleges, a 28 on the ACT should be competitive, but it does depend on the specific schools you are applying to and the overall strength of your application.

If you are considering taking the SAT as well, ask yourself whether you feel you may perform better on that test based on your strengths and the structure of the exam. You can also review the middle 50th percentile scores for the colleges on your list. If your ACT score falls within that range for your target schools, you should be in a good position. If it falls below the range for some schools you're particularly interested in, consider taking the SAT to see if you can achieve a higher percentile score in comparison. If you have time to adequately prepare for the SAT, it may be worth trying out to give yourself options, but it's not necessary if you feel confident with your ACT score.

Don't forget that many colleges are test-optional, which means they will consider your application without test scores, focusing more on other aspects of your application like GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays. If you're unsure about including your ACT score or taking the SAT, research the specific test policies for the colleges you're applying to and assess if your test scores are necessary or if they'll make a big impact on your application.
