Is the SAT weighted more than the ACT?

Question

For Ohio Northern for a scholarship program, it says you need a 3.5-4.0 gpa and an ACT score > 31 or SAT > 1360. A 31 is way better than a 1360. Does anyone know why it would be set up like this?

Answer 1

For the SAT they are only looking at reading and math. the highest possible scored for that is 1600 so a 1360 is relatively high.

Answer 2

probably to encourage people to take the sat

Answer 3

because a SAT score is a sum of individual subject scores ans an ACT score is an accumulative grade

yes because more people take that one...
