Frequently asked questions
What is a concordance table?
A concordance table maps scores from one test to statistically equivalent scores on another. The College Board and ACT jointly publish these tables based on students who took both tests, so the comparison is based on real performance data.
Is a concordant SAT score the same as an ACT score for college applications?
Colleges generally treat concordant scores as equivalent for admissions purposes. However, each college sets its own policy — always check directly with the institution.
Why does the ACT to SAT conversion return a range?
Multiple SAT scores can map to the same ACT composite score in the concordance table. The range shows the full band of SAT scores that are concordant with that ACT composite.
