In 2005, the College Board added a required

Writing test to the SAT and ACT added an

optional Writing test to the ACT. Before

to both respective tests, the College Board

and ACT are now providing updated

concordance tables that are appropriate to

the current versions of the two tests.

Students who take the SAT receive three

separate test scores: Critical Reading,

Writing and Mathematics. Students who take

the ACT receive a Composite ACT score

and four subscores (Reading, English, Math

and Science). Students who take the ACT

developed:

score point, the most appropriate SAT score point within the

range is provided. In this example, an ACT Composite score

of 21 is concorded to a single SAT score of 990.

to establish the relationship between the two sets of scores.

The ACT-SAT tables are based on an entire cohort of

students who completed both tests, but this sample is not

representative of either all ACT or SAT test-takers. The

tables, therefore, may not be appropriate for use with scores

from students who take either ACT only or SAT only.

Overall, a student who receives a score on one test will not

necessarily obtain the concorded score on the other test.
