SAT-ACT Score Comparisons
Although there is no official conversion chart between the SAT and its biggest rival, the ACT, the College Board released an unofficial chart based on results from 103,525 test takers who took both tests between October 1994 and December 1996; however, both tests have changed since then. Several colleges have also issued their own charts. The following is based on the University of California's conversion chart.
