How SAT to ACT Conversion Works

To convert SAT scores to ACT scores (or vice versa), most colleges and institutions use concordance tables. These tables are developed based on extensive research conducted by the College Board (which administers the SAT) and ACT, Inc. (which administers the ACT). The tables align scores from the two tests, allowing for a comparison of equivalent performance levels.

For example, a composite SAT score of 1250 is approximately equivalent to an ACT composite score of 26. The concordance tables are updated periodically to reflect any changes in the tests or scoring methodologies.
