I think you need to take the test again and try to improve your score. With 2060, I've been told I have a fighting chance at one of the top 20 schools. My percentiles were both in the mid to high 90s, so it's more the percentile that matters than the score, I think. Try to get your percentiles at least above 85. Many scholarships require at least 1900 as a SAT score... all the ones I've looked at recently, at least. \n\nGood luck. And btw, don't listen to the person who said you'll be driving a garbage truck with a SAT score like yours. SAT scores are not the only thing that colleges look at, and plus, your SAT score doesn't judge the content of your character. It's more important to be a god person than to be a high test scorer. SAT scores don't judge your success rate in either college or in the work-force, and that has been statistically proven.

The College Board might have it.  They are the administrator of the SAT.  If depends on their retention policy.

Now that they've established the new SAT, 1600 is well below the perfect score. I took the SAT a couple of weeks ago and made a 1640, which is only a little above average.\n\nI looked online, and the site won't list the usual combined score for students, but usually it's around 700 for reading and math individually.\n\nSo around 1400 if you aren't counting your essay and writing skills points

Hey, do your own work....that is cheating and you are cheating yourself..big time. The rate you are going your vocabulary level will probably stay at a 3rd grade level. Impressive. Try doing your PSATS for college with a third grade vocabulary level. Good luck!

SAT II test results are NOT added up. They are reviewed individually, as a tertiary filter after GPA/SAT I scores. Your Math 2c score is impressive, and youre Lit/Bio scores are quite decent. What's more important, though, is your ACT or SAT I score. Based on your test results I strongly recommend that you take the ACT; in my experience, people who are good at math/sciences do much better on the ACT than on the SAT I. Most schools will accept either, so take both if you aren't sure. Better yet, attend a free practice test at your local Kaplan center to see which test is "kinder" to you. \ngood luck!

I took an SAT Prep class in high school and we took many SAT tests that had been given in the couple of years prior to my class.  And my scores always went up.  I never did take an actual SAT though, but the tests we took in that class were real SATs.\n\nJ

Ok, the rest are not true, because I asked my college counselor.\nFor the SAT (not ACT or anything else) they take the highest section scores from DIFFERENT sittings.  You are able to mix and match scores from different times to get your HIGHEST POSSIBLE score.  In your case they will consider Math: 750 Reading: 730 and Writing: 700 for a total of 2180! they will recieve your other scores as well.  CONGRATULATIONS btw. Awesome job!

You can improve your score by studying, but only a certain amount.\n\nFor example, MENSA accepts scores from standardized tests like the SATs, ACTs and GREs.  You can buy a study guide or take a class if you want to improve your score.  Basically you just need to develop habits that conform to the sorts of problems encountered in each type of test.

To really have a good competitive chance.\n\nSAT - 2150 and above, aim for at least 700 a section, that includes the SAT II's. Pick your strongest subject and take the SAT subject test, try to get 750 and above.\n\nYour ACTs could definitely improve.\n\nBe sure to have good extracurricular records. Actively participate in different activities. It would also look good to do volunteer.

The best way is...*drum rolls*...practice.\n\nThere's just no way around it. I recommend the official collegeboard SAT book, you can find that in most bookstores I believe. The practice tests in that book are very similar to the actual one. Whether or not you think you're good already at the section, make sure to read through the whole book. I only prepped for the SATs with that book, and I got a pretty decent score. So I really encourage you to get that book. If you're looking for something cheaper, you can try www.sparksnotes.com.\nExcellent site for some free practices. In the meantime, just browse for sites that give you free tests. www.collegeboard.com gives you ONE free test when you sign up.\n\nBest of luck for your SAT.

One way? Unless you're cramming for the SATs like I am, a good way is to memorize 1-? words per day based on your abilities. I prefer 3-4 cause its simple and easy. Plan your words the night before, next morning, recite them. And do so throughout the day randomly. And at night, review.\nIt sounds long but each step litterally takes less than 4 minutes.

If this is the new SAT that score is not very good, considering the New SAT is out of a score of 2400. You should really consider taking a Kaplan Prep course. If not, feel free to register for free 45 days of online access to our SAT quizbank site. This site allows you customize your own quizzes for personalized Prep. You really should be shooting for anything above 600 in each section. 600 math, 600 critical reading, and 600 writing.

That's really all that you can do, is study those books. The SAT is much more difficult than the ACT (which is what I took). Good luck though! Study hard and take it as often as you need to! Also get lots of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast, and concentrate!
