@IceQube Good scores on the SAT actually primarily depend on luck. For example, on the CR section, you could luckily get vocab questions you know, or unluckily get words you don’t know. Luck is far less a contributing factor on the ACT



It depends on luck if you haven’t built up the vocabulary base you need before taking the test and then rush to try and study all the words you might need to know. Frankly, if you do build up the proper base of vocabulary, reading, grammar, writing and math, it’s not luck any more.

There’s a clear reason why some people do score between 2350-2400.

In terms of @IceQube’s explanation of “equating”, you can read more about it on the college board if it doesn’t clarify the point: The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board;
