I recently took my ACT and scored 23. However, I am interested in applying to colleges that prefer SAT scores over ACT. Can anyone help me understand what my ACT score (23) translates to in SAT terms?
Sure, I can help you with that. An ACT score of 23 roughly corresponds to an SAT score in the range of 1130 to 1150. Remember, this is an approximation as the concordance isn't an exact science but this should give you a ballpark estimate. Additionally, keep in mind that most colleges that require standardized test scores for admission consider ACT and SAT scores more or less equivalently. So, a score of 23 on the ACT should be competitive at institutions where a score range of 1130 to 1150 on the SAT would be considered competitive.
