Frequently asked questions

What is a 34 ACT in SAT terms?

An ACT Composite of 34 is equivalent to an SAT total of 1500 on the official ACT/SAT concordance published by College Board and ACT. SAT totals from 1490 to 1520 all convert back to an ACT 34.

Is 34 a good ACT score?

A 34 ranks at the 99th percentile, meaning 99% of recent ACT-tested graduates scored a 34 or lower. It is at or above the 25th percentile of enrolled students at 141 of the 141 colleges in our dataset that publish an ACT range, and above the 75th percentile at 74 of them.

Should I retake the ACT with a 34?

A retake is worth the most at schools where a 34 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.
