Did my ACT recently and I'm super curious about what my SAT equivalent score would be. I know they measure similar skills, but I'm looking for a reliable converter. Any recommendations?
Sure, many students are interested in comparing their ACT and SAT scores. Keep in mind that conversions between the ACT and SAT aren't precise, but they can generally give you an idea of where your strengths lie and help you decide which test is right for you.
The College Board has a concordance table that can help you convert ACT scores to SAT scores and vice versa. This chart is quite detailed and can give you a fairly accurate estimate. It's relatively simple to use; on one column you'll see ACT scores and on the other, the corresponding ranges of SAT scores. Just find your ACT score and see the matching SAT score range.
Remember, though, that each college may view ACT and SAT scores a bit differently. While these conversions provide a general comparison, they may not perfectly predict how colleges will interpret your scores. It's always best to check directly with any specific colleges you're interested in to see how they interpret ACT vs. SAT scores. Hope this helps!
