Convert between SAT and ACT composite scores using concordance.
The two tests are concorded using tables derived from students who sat both, and the relationship is close to linear across the middle of the range. Conversions at the extremes are less reliable. Most institutions accept either test, so converting reveals which of your two scores presents more favourably.
