<p>xiggi The correlation between SAT M+V scores and ACT composite scores is a whopping .92 compared to your cherry picked anecdotal evidence. </p>

<p>texaspg You do realize that there are more perfect ACT scores than perfect SAT scores because the ACT converts 35.5+ composite scores to be a perfect 36 since all scores are rounded to whole numbers. If the SAT did the same thing with scores in the 2370+ range, the number of “perfect” SAT would be similar assuming similar number of test takers in the pool. </p>
<p>So the long and the short of this is that the concordance charts between SAT and ACT are fine and does not need a revamping as suggested by xiggi but perhaps a fine tuning to properly reflect the percentage distributions between the SAT and the ACT. The ACT might also want to report ACT composite scores without rounding so an ACT 33.25 isn’t considered the same as an ACT 32.50 because under current reporting both scores would be reported as 33.</p>
