|constructs. The ACT measures achievement related to high school |Combined |Writing |Writing |

|curricula, while the SAT measures general verbal and quantitative |English / Writing |(Single Score) |(Score Range) |

|reasoning. | | | |

| | | | |

|ACT and the College Board have completed a concordance study that is | | | |

|designed to examine the relationship between two scores on the ACT | | | |

|and SAT. These concordance tables do not equate scores, but rather | | | |

|provide a tool for finding comparable scores. | | | |

| | | | |

|You can find the concordance tables and guidelines for proper use on | | | |

|our website at aap/concordance. | | | |
