Okay, so I've taken the SAT and got a 1230. I've been considering taking the ACT as well, but I can't find a conversion chart anywhere to see how this might translate. Has anyone done this conversion before? Could use some insight, thanks!
Hello! You're asking a common question among students who've taken one test and wonder how they'd score on the other. It's important to remember these conversions may help provide a broad equivalent, but they aren't exact because the tests have different content and approaches.
With that in mind, an SAT score of 1230 roughly aligns with an ACT composite score of 24 to 25 based on current concordance tables. But individual section scores could vary depending on your strengths, e.g., if you're better in Science, a strength the ACT emphasizes more than the SAT, you might get a higher equivalent ACT score.
Remember, each school might interpret scores differently. So, it's a good idea to check specific requirements or guidance from colleges you're interested in. Best of luck with your testing!
