What's up guys, I took the ACT and got my score. I'm just curious, what would be the equivalent SAT score for my ACT one?
While the exact translation can vary slightly, there is a general ACT to SAT score table that gives a rough idea of equivalence. While it won't be exact, it can shed some light on what your ACT score might translate to in SAT terms.
Here’s a rough guide:
- A 36 ACT score is approximately equivalent to a 1560-1600 SAT score.
- A 35 ACT is approximately a 1530-1550 SAT score.
- A 34 ACT corresponds to a 1490-1520 SAT score.
- A 33 ACT score is around a 1450-1480 SAT score.
- A 32 ACT is about a 1410-1440 SAT score.
- A 31 ACT score corresponds to a 1370-1400 SAT score.
- And so on, with the pattern continuing similarly.
Remember, while equivalence charts are useful, colleges understand the differences between the two exams and are more concerned with the percentile you fall in rather than a direct score comparison. Students who perform very well on the ACT will be considered competitive applicants even if their corresponding SAT score would be less impressive.
If you want to find the exact corresponding SAT score for your ACT score, there may be updated, precise tables available online that can provide that information.
