ACT to SAT Conversion Chart: Which Score is Better?

ACT to SAT Conversion Chart: Which Score is Better?

Many students worry about whether they’re studying for the right test. What if you put hours into studying for the ACT, but then it turns out your SAT score is a higher percentile? Students trying to find their ACT to SAT conversion score can use the chart below to see where they stand. 

If you’ve already taken both the SAT and the ACT, then you might be wondering how your scores compare. If you’ve tested significantly higher on one test, then that may be the test you wish to submit to colleges. Our ACT to SAT conversion chart can also show you if your tests are in the same percentile!

However, if you haven’t taken either test yet, you may be wondering which test is better for you: the SAT or the ACT? It might be helpful to take real practice tests first and see which one you’re testing better in. After taking a practice test for both, you can use our ACT to SAT conversion chart below to determine which score is better! You could then decide how much energy to put into studying for each test. When it comes time to sit down and take the test for real you’ll have a better idea where you stand.

If you’re ready to schedule your test date, you can check out both the SAT dates and ACT dates and start the process to complete your registration!
