<p>One of the confusing things about PLAN is that it is on a different scale than the ACT. PLAN’s highest score is a 32 versus a 36 for the ACT. So there’s no easy correlation as there is in the PSAT-SAT scoring.</p>
<p>Having looked closely at ACT scores for many years, I would add 5-7 points to your child’s PLAN score and estimate that to be her senior year ACT score. You can convert it to SATs using the college board link above. It’s a good, not great, ACT score. If you are looking for merit money, you’ll need to look at schools where that score would put her in the top 25% of applicants.</p>
