Hey guys, I just got my ACT scores back and I got a 27. Can anyone tell me what percentile this puts me in? Also, does anyone know what this would convert to for an SAT score?
Hello! Congratulations on getting your ACT scores back. A 27 on the ACT is a solid score and generally puts you in the 85th percentile, which means you have scored better than 85% of test-takers. Keep in mind that percentiles can vary slightly from year to year, but it should be around that number.
As for converting your ACT score to an SAT score, while there's no exact 1-to-1 conversion, you can get a rough estimate using concordance tables provided by the College Board and ACT. Given your ACT score of 27, it would be approximately equivalent to an SAT score of 1280-1300.
Remember that while test scores play a role in the college admissions process, they're only one part of a holistic review. Good luck with your applications!
