Academic Index & SAT IIs

<p>Does anyone know how many SAT Subject Tests are required for the AI calculation? The calculator on CC requires 3, but other calculators only require 2, for example:</p>

<p>I am really hoping the CC calculator hasn't been updated to take into account that most schools now only require two Subject Tests for non-AI admissions.</p>

<p>You only need two for the AI calculation.</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>How do you use the calculator if you plan to apply to an Ivy that accepts the ACT is lieu of both the SAT I and SAT IIs, and will be submitting ACT scores only?</p>

<p>If you multiply your ACT composite by 45 you get a pretty accurate conversion to your SAT I (math and CR sections)</p>

<p>I think the ACT website also has a chart that converts the approx SAT score from the ACT score.</p>

<p>bluemath - this isn’t a “fact” you’ll find published but i’m pretty sure from experience: if only ACT is factored for an ivy, it needs to be about 32. of course an individual coach could confirm either way - it would also depend on sport and level of athlete. i’m pretty sure the formula for translating ACT to score out of 800 is available and you would use that number as many times as necessary…good luck</p>

<p>Helpful times article - thank you.</p>

<p>Here’s the chart for converting an ACT score to an SAT score for plugging into the Academic Index calculator:</p>

<p>Lioness4, that’s correct. 32 on the ACT corresponds to 2100 on the SAT and will satisfy coaches/admissions. It’s also worth mentioning that while most colleges/universities don’t superscore the ACT (as opposed to the SAT which is nearly universally superscored) they will (informally) make an exception and superscore it for recruited athletes.</p>
