ACT Inc. and the College Board have released updated concordance tables — estimates of how students of comparable abilities would score on the ACT and SAT examinations.
For instance, a composite score of 33 (out a of possible 36) on the ACT corresponds to a combined score of 1440 to 1480 (out of a possible 1600) on the SAT’s critical-reading and mathematics sections.
The tables, released on Tuesday, are based on a joint study of more than 300,000 high-school students who took both tests from 2004 to 2006. ACT Inc. and the College Board plan to release a report on the concordance study later this year. —Eric Hoover
