Hey guys! I just got my latest ACT scores and I got a 31. I'm thinking of giving the SAT a shot as well. Can anyone help me understand what my ACT score would translate to on the SAT scale? Thanks in advance!
Sure, happy to help! Converting your ACT score to an SAT equivalent isn't a perfect science, but there are conversion charts that have been developed based on percentiles from official data from both testing companies.
Using the charts, a 31 on the ACT generally translates to around a 1390-1410 on the SAT. Do keep in mind, however, that the tests assess slightly different skills and you may perform differently on one than the other. Furthermore, this conversion doesn't account for the possible disparity between your performance on different sections (Math, Reading, etc.), so it's a good idea to try a practice SAT to see how you might fare. Best of luck as you continue with your test taking journey.
