Which test, which tool
| You're holding | Use | Data basis |
|---|---|---|
| The supported SAT paper Practice Test 4 | SAT Score Calculator | Official practice-test ranges + official percentiles |
| An ACT practice test (2025+ or older) | ACT Score Calculator | Official practice-form tables + official National Ranks |
| AP practice MCQ + FRQ self-scores | AP Score Calculator | Official structures; cutoffs are third-party estimates, labeled as such |
| IB subject grades + TOK/EE | IB Grade Calculator | Official core-points matrix and failing conditions |
| A-level / BTEC / IB results for UK admission | UCAS Points Calculator | Official UCAS tariff tables |
Our rule for exam numbers
Each tool names its scoring basis. SAT paper Practice Test 4 and the supported ACT practice forms use their published scoring guides. Percentiles describe the reference group and applicable period shown on the page. AP cutoffs are historical assumptions; IB diploma checks cover only the requirements the form can model. None of these results replaces an official score report. For grades and credits, use the GPA tools or grade calculators.
Frequently asked questions
Can these calculators predict my exact SAT or ACT score?
This tool cannot — both exams equate each test form separately, and the digital SAT is adaptive on top of that. What these calculators do is apply the official practice-form conversions and official percentile tables, clearly labeled, with the source and applicable period shown.
Which test do these tools cover?
SAT (supported paper practice test, with score ranges and reference percentiles), ACT (enhanced 2025 format plus the legacy pre-2025 test), AP (16 subjects with historical cutoff assumptions), IB (diploma points with modeled diploma requirements) and UCAS tariff points.
Where do the numbers come from?
Every conversion and percentile is loaded from a data file citing its official source — College Board scoring guides and percentile research for the SAT, ACT's official practice-form tables and National Ranks for the ACT. When only an estimate exists, the page says so rather than presenting it as exact.
How often do exam score tables change?
Percentile tables refresh annually (SAT in the fall, ACT National Ranks each September), and each real test form carries its own equating. Check the applicable period shown on each page. A site rebuild does not update the underlying table, and a historical table may remain visible until a newer version is verified.
