ACT/SAT Conversion

<p>Basically most conversions online are off...
So my question is why is a 27 ACT (87 Percentile) considered low while a 1880 is considered higher. They are basically the same but tables online are so off on the percentiles. </p>

<p>Okay maybe not 27 but lets get into the top 10 percentile</p>

<p>28 is 90-92 Percentile you score higher than 90-92% of students why is this considered below a 1930-1950 if both students score above 90 percent of students</p>

<p>If lets say UPENN will accept a 1900, will it accept a 28 all the same?</p>

<p>Or maybe a 30 (93-94 Percentile)
1990-2030 Is the same in SAT
Same situation for a college they are viewing them the same right?</p>

<p>There is not much difference between 28 and 30 in college decisions or am I wrong? It is still top 10% of test scorers but CC downplays that?</p>

<p>I don’t know where you’re getting your %ages. The ACT concordance above is based on the %iles for both the ACT and SAT. A 29 ACT ~ a 1950 SAT.</p>

<li>You never answered my question.</li>
<li>In stead of 30 I meant 29</li>
<li>Here are the real percentiles <a href=“http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/research/SAT-Percentile-Ranks-Composite-CR-M-W-2013.pdf[/url]”>http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/research/SAT-Percentile-Ranks-Composite-CR-M-W-2013.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
29 = 1990-2010 upwards to 2040</li>
</ol>

<p>EDIT: Your data is based on year 2008 which is why I said it’s outdated</p>

<p>If 90 Percentile is 28 the top 10-8% score 1930-1980 on the SAT
93 Percentile 29 and the top 7-6% score 1990-2040 on the SAT
This is based on current data which makes that table incorrect</p>
