Hey guys, I hope you are doing great. I recently took the ACT and scored a 21. I'm also considering taking the SAT and I wanted to know how would a score of 21 on ACT compare to the SAT? Really grateful for your insights!
Hello! It's fabulous that you're exploring multiple standardized test options. ACT and SAT scores don't align perfectly one-to-one due to their differing formats and scoring, but we can still give a rough equivalent. A score of 21 on the ACT would roughly correlate to an SAT score in the range of 1060 to 1090.
Do remember that these are estimated figures and the correlation can vary slightly. The best way to know for sure which test will accurately represent your abilities is to take a practice version of the SAT, rather than relying on a conversion table alone.
You can access a full-length practice test through the College Board's official Bluebook™ app, which also will allow you to familiarize yourself with the SAT's new, fully digital format. Best of luck with your testing!
