Percentile vs. Score.....

<p>Quick question, my SAT is a 2150 and my ACT is a 32 (composite), most people tell me that a 32 is equal to or a bit worse than a 2150 bbbbuuutt 2150=98th percentile and 32=99th percentile, so my question is what is more important...the percentile or the actual score? Also, just curious do percentiles change for each testing date, and if so do the colleges look at the percentile for the date that you took the test or just some general/averaged percentile?</p>

<p>good questions. the percentile is all that matters to colleges, because the only point of the tests is to rank you among other students. percentiles don't change from test date to test date. also, there isn't any real difference between a 98th%-ile and a 99th%-ile score from a ranking perspective. good job!</p>
