Hey guys, I got a 29 on my ACT, and I was wondering if there's a way to convert that into an SAT score equivalent? Would anyone know how to do this, and what my estimated SAT score would be with this conversion?
Hi there! You can definitely convert your ACT score to its SAT equivalent using a concordance table. The College Board and ACT have released a joint concordance table that helps you compare ACT and SAT scores.
With a 29 on the ACT, the equivalent SAT score range is approximately 1330 to 1350. To be more specific:
- English (ACT 29) translates to a range of 630-640 in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.
- Math (ACT 29) translates to a range of 690-710 in SAT Math.
Keep in mind that this conversion is an estimate, and both tests cover slightly different content and formatting. Colleges are generally aware of these differences and accept either test for admissions, so you don't need to stress too much about a direct conversion.
Here's the link to an unofficial concordance table if you'd like to look into more details: https://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/act-to-sat-conversion
