What is 30 ACT in terms of SAT stats???

<p>Some sites say that 30 is 1980 for SAT but some say its 2040.. i know theres not much of a difference, but im just curious.</p>

<p>2000 +/- 10
[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>

<p>You can alternative calculate the percentiles of each test and find where they’re equivalent. 2000 is probably the best answer, or 2010.</p>

<p>It’s more or less 2000. cjgone is corrrect</p>

<p>My daughter scored 2030 on the October SAT. In November she scored a 30 on the ACT.
I’m sure a range of “expected” scores on the SAT would correspond to a 30 ACT; probably somewhere between 2000 and 2040.</p>

<p>its pretty much that line of breaking 2000 for the Sat</p>

<p>ACT does not convert to SAT W. You need ACT with writing for that. ACT English/Writing combined is concordant to SAT W</p>

<p>ACT composite 30 concords to 1340-1380 SAT CR+M</p>

<p>Collegeboard fails. My predicted score for SAT 1 from PSAT was 350 points lower. My SAT score is 3 points higher than the Estimated Relationship between ACT and SAT.</p>

<p>According to the ACT w/o W (and Collegeboard which performed a joint study), a 30 corresponds to a 1340.</p>

<p>[ACT-SAT</a> Concordance](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/index.html]ACT-SAT”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/index.html)</p>

<p>The tables are a little bit outdated. They mainly express the fact ACT is concordable to SAT CR + M, but concrete values vary a little bit year to year.</p>

<p>Are these conversions based upon what your score would be minus the Science section? Because that makes a ton off difference for my score</p>

<p>No, those conversions are just based on percentiles. Nothing else. Concordability is based on correlation of results. They take 100,000 or so those who take both ACT and SAT and calculate correlation of results for them.</p>

<p>

Why would the science not be included? It’s the most reasoning-based section on the whole test… In fact at some point it was even referred to as the science reasoning section.</p>

<p>There are a few schools that ignore this section however, georgia tech being the only notable one.</p>

<p>I wouldnt look at ACT published concordance much because they are assuming that colleges look at the writing score when converting ACT to ACT which the majority do not.</p>

<p>Anyways a 30 ACT is definately 2000+ SAT</p>

<p>Why are the 33-35 ranges so big??</p>

<p>35 2330 2290–2370 35, 80 point differential
34 2250 **2220–2280 ** 34, 60 point differential
33 2180 **2140–2210 ** 33, 70 point differential</p>

<p>ACT composite was not designed to convert evenly to SAT. It is based on percentiles. You get what you have.</p>
