ACT To SAT Score Conversion

Many students are increasingly taking both the ACT and SAT for admission to colleges. While colleges accept both the scores, students should be careful about the scores that you are submitting. If you fall in that group of students who take both the tests, then it would be a good idea to submit the higher scores after converting the scores. The following table is commonly used by colleges for ACT to SAT score conversion. ACT Composite Score Estimated SAT CR+M+W Estimated SAT CR+M+W (Score Range) 36 2390 2380–2400 35 2330 2290–2370 34 2250 2220–2280 33 2180 2140–2210 32 2120 2080–2130 31 2060 2020–2070 30 2000 1980–2010 29 1940 1920–1970 28 1880 1860–1910 27 1820 1800–1850 26 1770 1740–1790 25 1710 1680–1730 24 1650 1620–1670 23 1590 1560–1610 22 1530 1510–1550 21 1470 1450–1500 20 1410 1390–1440 19 1350 1330–1380 18 1290 1270–1320 17 1230 1210–1260 16 1170 1140–1200 15 1100 1060–1130 14 1020 990–1050 13 950 910–980 12 870 820–900 11 780 750–810 These conversion tables should give you a fair bit of understanding of the exam scores relative to each other. If you have taken both the exams, then use the table as a reference guide to send scores. For instance, if you have scored 31 in ACT and 1920 in SAT, ACT gives you a better shot at the programs of your choice.(Source: www.act.org) Keep in mind that both SAT and ACT are very different from each other. While the score comparison charts offer a useful guide, it would be a good idea to take just one exam depending on your strengths and weaknesses. Start solving SAT Prep Questions
