Conversion of old SAT to new SAT

Hey everyone, just a quick question - how do I convert my older SAT score to the new SAT format? Would colleges even consider my old SAT score, or should I just retake the new SAT? Thanks in advance!

To convert your old SAT score to the new SAT format, you can use the College Board's concordance tables. These tables provide a conversion chart that allows you to compare and convert scores from the old SAT format (2400-point scale) to the new SAT format (1600-point scale). You can find these concordance tables on the College Board website.

However, keep in mind that most colleges prefer to see the new SAT score if you are applying now or in the future, as they have shifted their admissions processes and policies to align with the current testing format. It's likely that your old SAT score won't be accepted by many colleges anymore, since the new SAT format has been in place since 2016.

I would recommend retaking the SAT to ensure that your application is competitive and that colleges will be able to evaluate your score based on their current admissions standards. Additionally, make sure to check with the specific colleges you are interested in applying to, as they might have individual policies or guidelines regarding the SAT scores they accept.
