1150 on SAT to ACT?

So I got a 1150 on my SAT, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth switching to the ACT. If anyone could help me convert my SAT score to its ACT equivalent, that would be super helpful!

If you got a 1150 on the SAT, that roughly converts to a 21 or 22 on the ACT, which is an approximate comparison. However, it's essential to remember that the SAT and ACT are different exams with distinct question styles and content, so it is not guaranteed that you will score proportionally on them.

The best way to find out which exam might work better for you is to take a practice ACT test under timed conditions and compare your results with your SAT score. Some students might naturally prefer the ACT due to its focus on science and quicker pace, while others might prefer the SAT's more in-depth reading comprehension and math sections.

Ultimately, it's crucial to determine which exam suits your strengths and areas of interest. Once you've taken a practice ACT test, utilize resources like free online test prep materials, books, or prep courses to improve on the exam that fits you best. Good luck!
