<p>I would basically like to know the exact score and/or atleast the score range conversion for the SAT. </p>
<p>If you just copy and paste the title of this thread into Google, several conversion charts will magically appear.</p>
<p>But they are all giving different data</p>
<p>A 2160-2210</p>
<p>are you absolutely sure ?</p>
<p>No, they made it up.</p>
<p>Did you google it, like the earlier poster suggested?</p>
<p>yes i googled it. But alot of websites are showing different results ? I just wanted to know if anyone had a SOLID idea</p>
<p>It could be that different universities also use different charts. That matches my experience. Last year an admissions officer called my daughter to ask that she send <em>all</em> her ACT scores; according to THEIR chart, her superscored ACT was better than her superscored SAT. (They had seen informal scores but couldn’t use them.)</p>
<p>@WasatchWriter hmm i see… so, if you know atleast, does an 32 score come in the high side of 2150s or low side of 2150s ??</p>
<p>One chart says low side; another chart says high side. But you know that. The answer won’t get better, I’m afraid.</p>
<p>@WasatchWriter Yeah true… It’s just that i wanted to know if it was good enough for Stanford, Berkeley’s and all. Like just in terms of score, my E.Cs and essay’s are strong. Just, is that score enough ? [ I thought if i convert it to SAT, i would get a rough idea ] </p>
<p>32 major reach for Stanford. Unless you have a hook, remote chance.</p>
<p>Stanford is a reach for anyone, even a 36 ACT. Basically, absent a hook, everyone else has a 1 in 18 chance of getting admitted with great stats.</p>
<p>I was wondering about the ranges for conversion as well. Specially, a 32 could be a 31.5, 31.75, 32, or 32.25. Is that why there is an SAT “range” of equivalence? Because an ACT composite score itself is a number within a possible range? If so I would think that where an ACT converts to an SAT would depend on if that ACT score was on the upper or lower end of its own range. </p>
<p>You should have asked that to begin with. Most schools publish SAT and ACT data on their Common Data Set. You don’t have to convert anything.</p>
<p>You tested that day at about the 98th percentile, plus or minus some margin of error based on the specific test, your test environment, and your state of mind. The SAT has a span of about 50 points that all represent the 98th percentile. Add to that the SAT margin of error, and your conversion becomes somewhat cloudy. The normal distribution of these standardized tests cause the most accuracy to occur at the mean, and the widest error bars to occur at the extremes. One reason schools may prefer perfect scores is that there is a bit of an ‘uptick’ at that stratosphere that captures those who still would have scored a perfect score if the test were more difficult. Notice that the number of test-takers achieving a given score declines monotonically with score until about 2380-2400, where about 25% more students achieve these scores than would be expected:</p>
<p><a href=“Home – SAT Suite of Assessments | College Board”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>32 ACT is good for UCB, but bad for Stanford.</p>
<p>it is not bad… the middle 50 is 30-34, which is good enough for 50%. It wont blow them away, but it wont get you rejected. Unless maybe your scores are lopsided. IE, an english major got a 34+ on english and Reading, but did worse on math and science, then maybe it can help.</p>

@mmmmmmmmm </p>
<p>I have been doing SAT for along time. But it just wasnt the right exam. I took the ACT recently and got a 32. Seats are full for the December ACT. And i dont know if i did good enough for the elite universities. Thats the reason why i asked the SAT CONVERSION. I’m just so confused :(</p>
<p>According to the actual ACT chart, a 32 ACT corresponds with a 2120 SAT. For Stanford, I wouldn’t say that it’s the best, but it’s not the worst. I would recommend you to retake it. I had a 32-33 ACT (I don’t remember) and after a retake, I got a 35 or 36.</p>
<p>its just that in december its too late… And i guess its too late for january as well. But according to your knowledge, which university do i have a better chance in Cal Tech or Stanford ??</p>
