SAT and ACT Concordance

According to Nancy Rawlings from ACT, who presented at the National Association for College Admissions Counseling Conference in Pittsburgh last week, ACT and The College Board will join together to conduct a concordance study to determine how the ACT Composite Exam correlates with the new SAT Total scores.

Tables on how the ACT English and Writing Tests correlate with the new SAT writing test will be available in January 2007.

Rawlings also said that 62% of colleges are not requiring writing tests, at the current time.
