What SAT score does my ACT score compare to?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I got a 29 on my ACT - first time taking it and no prep. I don't think I'll be taking the test again, and I am just curious as to what SAT score (CR, math, & writing) a 29 is equivalent to. Also, is a 29 a good score? Thanks!</p>

<p>29 ACT is about a 1920 SAT</p>

<p>29 is above average, so I guess it would be considered a good score.</p>

<p>Another question: Can a good ACT score outweigh a bad SAT score (1680)?</p>

<p>Just don’t send the SAT score if you have a considerably better ACT score. In your case, this definitely applies. Send the 29, don’t send the 1680.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you! That was my first time taking the SAT, again no prep, and it didn’t turn out as well as the ACT. But I got a review book and am going to start reviewing every day. Hopefully, my scores will go up and if not, I’ll just send the ACT. :)</p>

<p>You don’t even need to take the SAT. If you did better on the ACT, study for that and raise that score. Don’t worry about the SAT.</p>

<p>I’m signed up for the October SAT already, and I’m just going to give it another whirl.
But I’m not going to take the ACT again - I’m more than happy with my score!</p>
