SAT↔ACT Converter & GRE↔GMAT Comparator

About these conversions

• SAT ↔ ACT: Official 2018 concordance by College Board & ACT (single-point tables; nearest-neighbor + interpolation where needed). Sources: College Board resource hub and the 2018 guide (PDF).
• GRE ↔ GMAT: No official conversion. We match GRE section percentiles (ETS 2025 interpretive data) to a blended GRE percentile and map to GMAT percentiles, then to scores via GMAC’s Focus↔Legacy concordance tables. Sources: ETS GRE interpretive data (percentiles), GMAC total score concordance (Aug 2024), and GMAC guidance on GRE↔GMAT non-equivalence.

Understanding SAT–ACT Conversion and GRE–GMAT Comparison

This page offers a practical SAT to ACT converter, ACT to SAT converter, and a transparent GRE to GMAT comparator. The goal is educational clarity—helping you interpret standardized test scores across different exams when you’re researching admissions ranges, building school lists, or planning retakes.

How SAT–ACT concordance works

The SAT and ACT measure similar college-readiness skills but are not identical tests. To make scores comparable, the testing organizations jointly published the 2018 ACT/SAT Concordance. Our tool follows that official, single-point concordance. When you type an ACT composite, you’ll see the concordant SAT total; when you enter an SAT score, we estimate the nearest ACT composite using the same table plus light interpolation to handle in-between values. Because it’s a concordance, not a predictive model, two students with the same SAT might not always earn the exact same ACT—and vice versa. Treat the result as a fair translation, not a guarantee.

How GRE–GMAT comparison works (and why it’s an estimate)

Unlike SAT/ACT, there is no official one-to-one GRE to GMAT conversion. Graduate business programs read both tests, but the makers of the GMAT note there isn’t an exact formula to turn a GRE score into a GMAT score. To give you a useful, honest estimate, this tool uses percentile matching:

• Convert your GRE Verbal and Quant to section percentiles using recent interpretive data.
• Blend those percentiles (equal weight by default) to get an overall GRE standing.
• Map that standing to the GMAT percentile distribution and read off a GMAT Focus or GMAT legacy total.

This preserves the big picture—how you rank among test takers—while acknowledging that test content and scoring scales differ. Use it for planning and school research; rely on official admissions guidance for final decisions.

When to use these tools

• Building a college list: Compare your SAT or ACT to published mid-50% ranges without retesting immediately.
• Exploring MBA programs: See how a strong GRE could align with typical GMAT ranges (Focus or legacy).
• Retake strategy: If your concordant score falls short of target ranges, decide whether a retest or exam switch could help.

Tips & caveats

• Schools may superscore or state preferences; always check the program’s official policy.
• Percentile-based GRE↔GMAT results are estimates; treat small differences as noise.
• Focus on improving skills that move the needle most: reading precision, data analysis, and time management.
