According to the new concordance table my score of 1450 on the new SAT would be equivalent to 2080 on the old SAT. The colleges that I am looking at have the 50th percentile at around 2210 for the old SAT, which would be equivalent to around 1520 on the new SAT. Should I try and retake this SAT, or take the ACT?
I got a 1450, too, yeah >:D< ! But I wanna get to at least 1530, since my dream school is Duke.So I suggest you take it again. ACT…I don’t plan to take ACT, so, I don’t know, maybe you can try once, and see if ACT is your type of thing. One of my friends MT got 1950 on the old SAT but got a 35 on ACT. You can give it a shot. Good luck!
Over 90% of the students who take the SAT twice increase their score. So, if you have only taken it once, I would recommend you keep doing practice tests and take it again in the fall. (1450 is a really good score, by the way.) Best of luck.
