❓ Common questions

Do colleges prefer the SAT or ACT?
US colleges accept both exams equally. No institution prefers one over the other, making concordance highly useful to decide which scores to submit.
Is a concordance the same as a conversion formula?
No. A concordance shows scores with similar performance percentiles rather than mathematically calculating one from the other.
