<p>Lol I just read this after almost a year. Anyway, at high caliber universities, a 36 ACT and 2400 SAT will be weighted relatively equally simply due to the fact that these universities realize that it is not the standardized test scores that are the most important part of students’ applications. Every year, more and more emphasis is being put on EC’s and grades of a student than standardized test scores. Colleges are now looking for something intuitive a student can bring to the table; for example new inventions, the highest number of fortune 500 jobs given to their university students, D1 athletics, so on and so forth. </p>
<p>It could be said that in the situation that two candidates with equal stats and one with a 36 ACT while the other with a 2400 SAT are competing for the same spot, the 2400 SAT might have the edge due to the differences in the SAT compared to the ACT. Realistically speaking, however, when does that situation even happen?</p>
<p>A hardcore stoner in my grade got 2000 on the SAT but a 35 on the ACT. He didn’t study for the ACT at all, but studied for a few months for the SAT. I know of various other similar situations. Nuff said.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, my scores were, to my surprise, almost exactly the same comparatively.</p>
<p>I got a 32 ACT and a 2110 SAT (1420 M+CR). Concordance charts show that 32 ACT is roughly 2130 or within the range of 2100-2140. A 1420 CR+M score translated to a 32 ACT.</p>
<p>After taking the tests about 2 weeks apart, I thought the ACT was easier, but when I received the scores, they were more or less the same thing.</p>
<p>This may be due to the curving on both tests though (easy ACT for me probably means it was easier for everyone or if the SAT was harder than usual, which it definitely was because 1 omit on M was -40 points, then the curves would align scores).</p>
