[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are various concordance tables published and they aren’t uniform.[/quote]
There is only one current official concordance table, available on both ACT and College Board websites. There are older ones out there, on other websites, but they are not current.

You think a 2018 concordance table is current, never mind accurate?[/quote]

If it's put out by the testing agencies (and hasn't been updated), why wouldn't it be accurate?[/quote]

It is means to show ADs the relative academic levels of those taking each test because people used to only take one or the other. I doesn't and can't factor in the reality that some kids are better taking one test or the other. My DC's SAT score concordance would suggest the ACT score should have been 4 points high than it actually was. It isn't meant to be an individual performance predictor.[/quote]
I agree with this. My kids scored wildly different between the tests. However, the concordance table may be helpful for students, especially juniors, trying to figure out which of their scores is "better," when trying to decide which test to focus prep on going forward. However, I would suggest to seniors, with testing all done and scores already in hand, to look at their colleges' published data to decide about whether and which to submit.[/quote]
