The College Board has released an app that allows one to convert new SAT scores to old SAT scores and vice versa. As of now, this data is only available on a one-to-one basis, but our A-List SAT/ACT expert tabulated it into a spreadsheet. Our test experts are going to continue to look at this over the next few days. Much like the PSAT data we’ve already seen, new test scores are higher than old test, by an average of 30 points for math, 40 for EBRAW, and 60 for composite.
More importantly, since we can convert new SAT to old SAT, we can then convert old SAT to ACT, thus transitively converting new SAT to ACT.
We put together a quick table for you because you’re special.
REDESIGNED SAT-ACT CONVERSION CHART
There already exists a set of tables to convert old-format SAT scores to ACT scores. Combining these tables allows us to compare new SAT scores to ACT scores. Please note that all comparisons here are estimates. All three tests are different from each other and cannot be perfectly compared.
