Hey guys, so I got a 1590 on my SAT and I'm considering taking the ACT as well. Does anyone know what a 1590 SAT score would approximately convert to on the ACT? Thanks in advance!
If you have a 1590 SAT score, it's equivalent to a top percentile ACT score. Although a direct conversion isn't always perfect, a 1590 on the SAT would be roughly equivalent to a 35 or 36 on the ACT, which is the highest possible ACT score.
However, keep in mind that a 1590 SAT score is already impressive and highly competitive for any college or university. If you want to take the ACT, you can certainly do so, but your SAT score should already be strong enough for most applications. It's important to focus on other aspects of your application as well, such as your extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendations, since having strong scores alone may not guarantee your admission to selective schools.
