Frequently asked questions
What is a 13 ACT in SAT terms?
An ACT Composite of 13 is equivalent to an SAT total of 760 on the official ACT/SAT concordance published by College Board and ACT. SAT totals from 730 to 770 all convert back to an ACT 13.
Is 13 a good ACT score?
A 13 ranks at the 20th percentile, meaning 20% of recent ACT-tested graduates scored a 13 or lower. It is at or above the 25th percentile of enrolled students at 0 of the 141 colleges in our dataset that publish an ACT range, and above the 75th percentile at 0 of them.
Should I retake the ACT with a 13?
A retake is worth the most at schools where a 13 is below the 25th percentile, because that is where your score is working against you. At schools where you are already inside the middle 50%, a retake is optional. At schools where you are above the 75th percentile, the ACT is no longer what holds your application back.
