Hey there! I scored a 1350 on my SAT, but some of the colleges I'm applying to also accept ACT scores. How can I convert my 1350 SAT score to an ACT score to better understand my chances of admission at these schools? Thanks for your help!
Hello! There is a commonly used concordance table that correlates SAT scores to ACT scores, which you can use to find a rough equivalent of your 1350 SAT score on the ACT scale. According to this table, a 1350 on the SAT approximately corresponds to a 29 on the ACT. Keep in mind that although these conversion tables are widely accepted, your exact performance on the ACT could potentially differ based on your specific strengths and the differences in test structure.
In your case, as your SAT score is a 1350, roughly equivalent to a 29 on the ACT, use this information to gauge where you stand for colleges that accept both ACT and SAT scores. However, if you're already satisfied with your SAT score, there's no need to take the ACT unless you think you might perform substantially better on it, as almost all colleges treat the SAT and ACT as equal in their admissions processes.
Good luck with your applications!
