About & Notes
Based on the
2018 ACT/SAT concordance
(joint ACT & College Board). Still the official reference as of 2025.
Each ACT maps to a
range
of SAT totals. The single‑point is the recommended comparable value.
Concordance ≠ prediction. Typical error ≈ ±80 SAT points from ACT → SAT.

ACT → SAT Calculator: FAQ

Where do these conversions come from? +

From the joint ACT/College Board 2018 concordance study, the official reference for comparing ACT and SAT scores. No newer joint tables have replaced it.

Is this valid for the digital SAT? +

Yes. The digital SAT uses the same 400–1600 scale and maintains comparable score meaning; College Board research shows digital scores function like paper scores.

What’s the difference between the single-point and the range? +

The single-point is the recommended comparable SAT total for an ACT composite. The range shows plausible equivalents around that point.

How precise is the conversion? +

Expect uncertainty. The official standard error is about ±80 SAT points when converting from ACT → SAT totals.

Does an ACT score “equal” an SAT score? +

No. Concordance matches scores by percentile rank across students who took both tests; it’s not a prediction of your score on the other test.

How should I use this tool for planning? +

Use it to compare options, not to predict outcomes. Base prep plans on your actual practice results and target ranges.
