About these numbers
ACT and the College Board published these tables together in 2018, and they're still the official version. They were built for the four-section ACT. ACT says it believes the 2018 concordance will hold for the new three-section composite and is still checking that with the College Board, so treat conversions as close estimates rather than exact.
Colleges that accept both tests don't prefer either one. Read the SAT and ACT guides to choose.
