Does anyone have a link or resource for an ACT score conversion chart to compare my ACT score to the SAT? I'd like to see which one I did better on.
You can use the official ACT-SAT concordance table created jointly by the College Board and ACT to convert your scores. In case you don't have easy access to the table, here's a simplified version to help with some common scores:
ACT Score - SAT Score (ERW+M)
36 - 1600
35 - 1560-1590
34 - 1520-1550
33 - 1490-1510
32 - 1450-1480
31 - 1420-1440
30 - 1390-1410
29 - 1360-1380
28 - 1330-1350
27 - 1300-1320
26 - 1260-1290
25 - 1230-1250
24 - 1200-1220
23 - 1160-1190
22 - 1130-1150
21 - 1090-1120
20 - 1060-1080
Keep in mind that these are approximate conversions, and college admissions offices are familiar with both tests, so you do not need to convert your score before submitting it. They will evaluate your application with either score appropriately. To see which one you did better on, find your ACT score in the left column and then compare it to the corresponding SAT score in the right column.
