<p>2390 > 35
Took both twice.</p>

22

<p>To be accurate, they equate 36 to 2380-2400.</p>

<p>28>1730</p>

<p><10char></p>

<p>34 >> 2120</p>

25

<p>

</p>

<p>They equate 36 to 2390, and 2380-2400 to 36.</p>

<p>36 = 2400</p>

27

<p>^ Where does it say that?</p>

28

<p>The first line of the first table says that 36 = 1600 M+CR, and the first line of the second table says that 36 E/W = 800 W.</p>

<p>1600 + 800 = 2400</p>

29

<p>^ One cannot merely add up the numbers in that way. Anyhow, this debate is as insignificant as they come, so I’ll just leave it at that. :)</p>

30

<p>While I agree it’s insignificant, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be able to add numbers up that way, and where you are pulling the 2390 from. Oh well.</p>

<p>That is what ACT determined the closest corresponding SAT score (not range) to be: [Estimated</a> Relationship between ACT Composite Score and SAT CR+M+W Score](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html]Estimated”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html)</p>

32

<p>Jamezz93, you can get a 36 ACT even with two 35’s on your sections, which is why it can’t equate to a 2400.</p>

33

<p>^ Yes, that is correct. I would certainly, however, equate a “pure” 36 to 2400. But most 36’s are rounded.</p>

34

<p>My ACT is higher than my SAT according to that chart. However, it’s kind of interesting that my first time taking the SAT is the equivalent to my first time taking the ACT (I’ve taken the ACT twice so far).</p>
