2400 SAT vs 36 ACT

Test Preparation

<p>^ In your case, don’t take the ACT unless you live in a state that requires it (that’s the only reason I took both tests).</p>

22

<p>they are the same for all intents and purposes</p>

23

<p>I’d (personally) muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch rather have a 2400 than a 36. I find the ACT pretty easy. The SAT… not so much.</p>

24

<p>I googled and found some collegeconfidential post back in 2005 states that there were 6000+ out of 1.2 million ACT test takers scored 36. But there are less than 400 with 2400. Now I don’t know if there are data for people with 36 on all sections or not. But that might be interesting to know.</p>

25

<p>Both the exams are looked at equally. Not one is preferred over the other. It’s just best to take the test you are most comfortable with.</p>

<p>I think you’ve got an extra zero there, unless the figure indeed means to refer to those who received 36 on any of the four sections (even then, it seems a tad high).</p>

<p>Post # 26, you are right, more googling get to better information.

704 perfect composite for ACT.</p>

<p>I misread this thread. It was about ACT Math 36 and not composite

<p>IAmHarry, definitely dont take the ACT!</p>

<p>Also remember that a 36 is a 36 and only a 36. On the sat that probably converts to between a 2330 and a 2400. There are probobly more people in that range then people who got a flat 36.
I could misunderstand the conversion but thats my hunch.</p>
