ACT to SAT equivalent score conversion?

Hey, has anyone come across a reliable chart or resource that shows the equivalent SAT scores for ACT scores? Some of the schools I'm applying to want SAT scores, and I've only taken the ACT, so I want to see how I measure up. Appreciate any help!

I can definitely help you with that! There's an official concordance table released by the College Board and ACT to help students equate their SAT and ACT scores. Here's a simplified conversion of some common ACT scores to their equivalent SAT scores:

- ACT 36 = SAT 1570–1600

- ACT 35 = SAT 1530–1560

- ACT 34 = SAT 1490–1520

- ACT 33 = SAT 1450–1480

- ACT 32 = SAT 1420–1440

- ACT 31 = SAT 1390–1410

- ACT 30 = SAT 1360–1380

- ACT 29 = SAT 1330–1350

- ACT 28 = SAT 1300–1320

- ACT 27 = SAT 1260–1290

- ACT 26 = SAT 1230–1250

- ACT 25 = SAT 1200–1220

Keep in mind that individual colleges might have their own conversion methods, so it's a good idea to check with the schools you're applying to and see if they have specific information on their websites.

When you list both your ACT and SAT scores on an application, colleges often use the conversion to view your scores most favorably or find the highest one. If you only have an ACT score, you can still report it when applying to schools that require or recommend SAT scores, as most colleges accept either test and don't generally require you to convert it yourself. However, you can use the concordance table if you’re curious or want to compare your scores with average scores of admitted students at your target schools. Good luck with your applications!
