How do I convert my 1450 SAT to ACT?

Hi all, I got a 1450 on my SAT and I'm wondering how this translates to an ACT score. Are there any reliable resources or charts to help with this conversion? Thanks!

Hello! To convert your 1450 SAT score to an equivalent ACT score, you can use the official concordance tables provided by the College Board and ACT. The concordance tables are designed to help you compare your scores across both tests, which can be especially useful when a college or scholarship program only considers a specific test.

According to the most recent concordance table released in 2018, a 1450 on the SAT roughly translates to a 33 composite score on the ACT. Keep in mind that this is an approximate conversion and individual scores may vary slightly. It's important to remember that every college admissions process is different, and some institutions may treat equivalent scores slightly differently.

Also, note that converting your SAT score to an ACT score won't apply to your actual college applications. You would need to submit your SAT score or take the ACT separately if the colleges you're applying to have specific test preferences or requirements. However, the conversion is useful when comparing your own performance on both tests to make an informed decision about which test you feel most confident in, especially if you consider taking both tests at some point.

Here is the link to the official 2018 SAT/ACT concordance table provided by the College Board and ACT:

Best of luck with your college applications!
