How to convert your test scores to UC Scores:

If you took the SAT Reasoning Test:

• Convert your highest scores in critical reading, math and writing from a single sitting and your two highest SAT Subject Tests from different subject areas to equivalent UC Scores (see the translation table below).
• Add all five UC Scores to produce your UC Score total. For example: critical reading + math + writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2 = UC Score total.

If you took the ACT Plus Writing exam:

• Convert your highest math, reading, science and combined English/writing score from a single sitting to equivalent UC Scores (see the translation table below).

• Multiply the sum of your converted math, reading and science scores by two-thirds, then add the converted English/writing score.

• Add this subtotal to your two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores. For example: (math + reading + science) x 0.667 + English/writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2) = UC Score total.
