You’ve taken both the ACT® Test and SAT® Test, and you want to know which score was better. This conversion chart gives you a clear idea of your score on either test. (Note: The conversion might vary slightly based on the difficulty of each individual test).
If you haven't yet taken both tests, that’s okay. It's a good idea, though, to take both the ACT® Test and SAT® Test once each, then focus on the one you prefer. This chart can help you make that decision.

Should you take the ACT® Test or the SAT® Test?
Now that you know how your scores convert, how do you decide which test to take?
If you aren’t sure which test will be best for you or if your scores are similar, understand the differences between the two tests. If you still don’t have a clear winner, pick whichever one "feels right" to you. Then take that test at least three more times and invest the time and effort to get your best possible score.
