SAT/ACT Section/Subscore Equivalents?

Applying to College

<p>Based upon ACT</a> Score Information: National Ranks for Test Scores and Composite Score and <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SAT_percentile_ranks.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SAT_percentile_ranks.pdf&lt;/a>, would it be incorrect to assume, for example, that a, say, ACT math subscore of 25 (which is 80th percentile) is equivalent to the 80th percentile SAT math section score of 620?</p>

<p>It seems logical enough to me, but I'm not sure if I'm incorrect.</p>

<p>Anyone know?</p>

2

<p>I don't know much, but a 25 seems awful low to correlate to a 620.</p>

3

<p>I don't remember off-hand which way is which, but I know striaght percentile to percentile comparisons don't work for SAT-ACT</p>

4

<p>No, just a SAT/ACT correspondence chart off Google.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, but I couldn't find an SAT/ACT subscore chart.</p>

<p>An ACT math subscore of 24 is 570-580 SAT Math section score. Check out this link: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/research/pdf/rr9901_3913.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegeboard.com/research/pdf/rr9901_3913.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>that is from 1999. the tests have changed since then, so I'd take it with a grain of salt</p>
