This score concordance utility compares composite exam scores between the SAT and ACT using data from the official College Board and ACT Joint Concordance Study. Because the two exams evaluate different section balances and scoring scales (SAT 400–1600 vs ACT 1–36), concordance tables provide an empirical cross-test comparison for college admissions, scholarship thresholds, and standardized testing decisions.

### Concordance Mapping & Scoring Scale The tool aligns your SAT composite score with its equivalent ACT composite figure and corresponding national percentile rank:

- **Top Percentiles (99th+ Percentile):** - SAT 1570–1600 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 36 - SAT 1530–1560 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 35 - SAT 1490–1520 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 34 - **Competitive University Range (90th–98th Percentile):** - SAT 1450–1480 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 33 (98th percentile) - SAT 1420–1440 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 32 (97th percentile) - SAT 1390–1410 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 31 (95th percentile) - SAT 1350–1380 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 30 (93rd percentile) - SAT 1320–1340 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 29 (90th percentile) - **State University & Mid Range (60th–87th Percentile):** - SAT 1280–1310 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 28 - SAT 1240–1270 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 27 - SAT 1200–1230 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 26 - SAT 1160–1190 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 25 - SAT 1130–1150 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 24 - SAT 1100–1120 $\leftrightarrow$ ACT 23

### Worked Numeric Example Entering the default SAT score of **1380**: 1. **Concordance Match:** Falls into the SAT 1350–1380 bracket, mapping to an **ACT Composite Score of 30**. 2. **National Percentile:** Places the student in the **93rd Percentile** nationally. 3. **Admissions Tier Placement:** Classified as 'Competitive University' profile.
