Hey guys, I recently took the ACT and got a 27. I'm planning on applying to colleges that require SAT scores, so could someone please explain what my ACT score converts to on the SAT?
Hi there! Congrats on your ACT score! To convert your ACT score to an SAT equivalent, you can use the ACT-SAT concordance table provided by the College Board and ACT. Based on this table, a 27 on the ACT is roughly equivalent to an SAT score of 1280-1300. Keep in mind that this conversion is an approximation and could vary slightly depending on the specific colleges you're applying to.
Do make sure to check each college's admissions requirements, as most schools accept both the ACT and SAT, and don't have a preference between the two tests. Don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office directly for clarification.
Good luck with your applications!
