SAT to ACT Conversion Calculator – Official Concordance Table (ACT ↔ SAT)

How the conversion works

ACT and the College Board ran a joint study (released June 2018) that links scores on the two tests. It produced two tables:

Table A1 – SAT total → ACT Composite: each SAT total maps to one ACT score.
Table A2 – ACT Composite → SAT total: each ACT score maps to a single SAT score and an SAT range.

Steps: (1) round your SAT total to the nearest 10; (2) look it up in Table A1; or (1) take your ACT Composite; (2) read the single SAT score and range in Table A2. The tables compare scores; they do not predict how you would actually score on the other test.

Enhanced ACT (2025 onward)

Since April 2025 (online) and September 2025 (paper) the ACT Composite is the average of English, math and reading; science is optional and no longer part of the Composite. ACT says enhanced and legacy scores can be used interchangeably and that the agreed concordance with the College Board still applies, so the 2018 tables remain the official ones.

FAQ

What ACT score is a 1300 SAT?

An SAT total of 1300 converts to an ACT Composite of 28 in the official concordance table (ACT 28 corresponds to SAT 1300–1320).

Is a 30 on the ACT the same as a 1370 SAT?

Yes. In the official table ACT 30 corresponds to an SAT single score of 1370 and a range of 1360–1380.

Do the tables still apply to the new (enhanced) ACT?

ACT says enhanced scores can be used interchangeably with legacy scores and that the agreed concordance with the College Board remains in place, so colleges still use the 2018 tables.

Should I send the SAT or the ACT?

Send the test on which your score sits higher after conversion. Most colleges accept either and do not prefer one test.

Sources (Checked Nov 10, 2026): ACT, “ACT/SAT Concordance” tables A1 and A2 (act.org, joint ACT–College Board study released 2018); ACT, “ACT Test Enhancements: Higher Ed” (Composite = English, math, reading; legacy and enhanced scores interchangeable). The conversion is an estimate, not an official result.
