Another ACT/SAT "Which score is better" thread

Test Preparation
1

<p>ACT:
Composite = 33
English = 35
Math = 35
Reading = 34
Science = 29
Essay = 8</p>

<p>SAT:
2240
Critical Reading = 720
Math = 760
Writing = 760
Essay = 10</p>

<p>Also, would you retake either of these?</p>

<p>I would say that they are almost exactly the same. Maybe the SAT score is a little better, but I would just put both of them on your application. </p>

<p>[ACT-SAT</a> Concordance](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/]ACT-SAT”>The ACT Test for Students | ACT)</p>

<p>I think the SAT is better. On the ACT website they have a conversion table and a 2250 is supposed to be equivalent to about 34 on the ACT.</p>

<p>I would maybe retake the ACT just because I see that it was just Science that brought down so If you worked on that section you could easily get a 34+ composite.</p>

<p>Honestly, I’d just send in both… They’re both great scores…</p>

<p>Guys, serious question.</p>

<p>Do the ACT composite scores still correspond with a 2400-scale SAT score? The concordance table tells me that they now consider your English/Writing as a major part of the correspondance. </p>

<p>Aka, a 36 composite + 30 english/writng = 2270?
Or is a 36 composite still a quasi-2400? Regardless of your english/writing score.</p>

<p>For some schools like MIT for example, the concordance table is not used. MIT has its own acceptance rate of ACT scores based on past students.</p>

<p>I think your SAT score is fine or submit both.</p>
