<p>I understand that Tech is willing to convert ACT scores to SAT. I am just wondering if someone with experience with this whole conversion thing can tell me what this ACT score is converted (I am posting the best score in each section):</p>

<p>Composite: 28, a 30 if super scored(meaning i recalculate my composite using my best scores
English: 30
Math: 29
Reading: 31
Science: 28
English/writting: 31
Essay: 11/12</p>

<p>English writing:720ish
Math-660ish
Reading -
720ish</p>

<p>Tech doesnt care about science</p>

3

<p>i didn’t know tech used Reading, kind of surprised there! I always thought it was English, Math, and E/w that gets converted. </p>

<p>Also, does tech use both the SAT and the ACT to make a new score. Because on the SAT math I have a 680, so I thought along w/ the two 720s, I could use the SAT math score of 680 to make a composite around 2100ish.</p>

<p>GT uses the highest SAT scores across all dates. For the ACT, they only look at highest English, Math, and Combined English/Writing scores across all test dates as well.</p>

6

<p>does this mean that the composite score is not used? and why do they convert ACT to SAT?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How else do you compare two students, one with an ACT and one with an SAT score? Every school does it in some way or another - Tech is just more open about their process.</p>

<p>oh true I didn’t think of it that way. Banjo, I noticed that you are an active member in the GT thread and seem to know a lot about the process, can you please help convert those ACT scores to SATs?</p>

<p>Oh sure, just [let</a> me google that for you.](<a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You)</p>

<p>Concordance tables vary. This is the link to the actual takes used by the University System of Georgia (including Georgia Tech):</p>

<p>I truly feel ■■■■■■■■ now. Cubbie said that "For the ACT, they only look at highest English, Math, and Combined English/Writing scores across all test dates as well. " and when I refer to the link that Banjo provided it only has Composite scores, how do I find the equivalents for English and Math.
oh and thank you ilyssa1257, for estimating the scores? how accurate do you think they are?</p>

12

<p>I just know for sure that a 30 is a 680, so actually a 31 is in 700-710 range. When you send them to Georgia Tech, it will under your application information.</p>

<p>For me, I was accepted EA (Biochem major) and PSP semifinalist, my ACT scores (highest among all my test dates) were:</p>

<p>ACT = SAT
Eng: 33= 740
Writing: 30= 670
Math: 28= 640
ACT Comp. 30 = SAT 2050 (Thank God for my extracurriculars!!!)</p>

<p>That is how GT converted my scores! Hope this helps!</p>

14

<p>thnx you majord for that post. it really helped.</p>

<p>i am wondering WHERE on the buzzport homepage you were able to find those converted scores? my test scores section only shows my individual ACT and SAT scores and I am not able to find the converted ones online.</p>

15

<p>haha btw sorry for hijacking this thread philly93 (btw nice username, Eagles fan???)</p>

<p>I too have a similar question, so thats why I just replied to majorD, hah dont bash me CC.</p>

<p>Before the Jan. 15 deadline, I could still see my ACT scores and SAT conversion. But, now I cannot see them. So, I’m sure your not seeing conversions is universal, but you can always email the Admissions staff regarding them; they usually get back with you quickly!</p>
