What Is Score Concordance and How Is It Used?

Concordance establishes a relationship between scores on similar, but not identical, assessments.

Concordance tables help students and professionals compare ACT and SAT scores for college planning, research, policy, and eligibility decisions. They support informed comparisons but do not perfectly predict how a student would perform on the other test.

Students, families, and counselors use them to explore colleges.

Educators, researchers, and policymakers use them to measure college readiness across groups.

Colleges, scholarship organizations, and athletic conferences use them to determine program or scholarship eligibility.
