<p>This is probably a trivial question, but I've seen conflicting data suggesting that 35 can correspond to either 2330 or 2340. Does anybody know which one is used by the colleges?</p>
<p>[ACT-SAT</a> Concordance](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/]ACT-SAT”>The ACT Test for Students | ACT) </p>
<p>What is your combined english/writing score?</p>
<p>2330 according to this
<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html[/url]”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html</a></p>
<p>you do that know the College Board says that the +/- on an SAT score is 31 points, right?</p>
<p>hence, 2330 is equivalent to a 2340</p>
<p>within the margin of error</p>
<p>Does this really make a difference?</p>
<p>The SAT-ACT Concordance gives a range of corresponding SAT scores for each ACT score because there are fewer score levels on the ACT. For a 35 ACT, the middle of the score range is 2330, but it could be as low as 2290 or as high as 2370. I think it all depends on if you get a “high” 35 (i.e. average is 35.25= closer to a 2370) or a “low” 35 (average is 34.5=closer to 2290)</p>
<p>^True, but I’ve heard that the colleges will convert the ACT scores to the SAT scale so that in the applicants’ files only the corresponding SAT scores will be shown. If this is the case, then a 34.5 is really not different from a 35.25.</p>
<p>
That’s why I began the OP with “this is probably a trivial question”. But I am just curious.</p>
<p>Why does this matter?</p>
<p>
For several colleges i’ve applied to only the composite is listed. The difference between a 34.5 and 35.25 is negligible and both would be a 35.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That doesn’t exactly make them equivalent; if it did, all scores would be “equivalent.”</p>
<p>If we’re being realistic, it doesn’t equate to either.</p>
<p>It is at the highest range of scores, above the 99th percentile. If you do not do not get into a college, it will never be because of the 35 ACT! No worries with that score.</p>
