is an SAT 1 score of 1160 bad?

Out of 1600. No, unless you're applying for a top-tier school.\nOut of 2400. Yes. Take it again.

Colleges look at more than the SAT or ACT score. They will also want to look at your gpa and if you've taken college prep classes in high school. The ACT composite is what many colleges with use. And an 18 isn't great, but if you have an acceptable gpa you can still get into college. Your math score indicates that you can thrive in the English language environment, and college admissions officers will note that.\n\nI think you should talk to your counselor about taking the TOEFL that's the SAT when English is not your native language. Many colleges will prefer that for students who were not born English language speakers.\n\nGood luck!

Sorry, but I do not agree with your opinion. Colleges have to have some standard bench mark to judge applicants by and high school results are not standard enough. \n\nIf someone scores 700-800 on an SAT, chances are really good they are not going to get through college. If someone scores 1200+ on an SAT, chances are they are going to do fine in college. In between, there may be room for supposition.

Well, your score is probably about average for the new 2400-point scale, but that isn't really the concern. Colleges understand that it's just one test on one day. What's A LOT more important is your GPA, in which classes you did well, community service and extracurricular activities; your essay is also important. But just so you're safe, definitely apply to a public school in your state that isn't really hard to get into. I go to a public university and I was astounded at the quality of education I'm getting here; I love it so much. So good luck and keep your mind open!

720 is good, but I know there another scoring system call Vanguard.  Your score is good enough to get a Discover, but Discover isn't accepted at all place, but its a good start though.\n\n\nLC

SAT's will help....I'm not sure it will matter for you though...if you have a chance of going...I wouldn't think you would seek advice at Yahoo Answers?

Your composite SAT score (Math + Critical Reading) is 1370 out of 1600. Use that as guidance when you look at colleges.

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.

A 1500 is definitely an average score. The mean scores for each section is roughly 500 apiece, making the average total score around 1500. Thus, your score is not great, but not the worst.

Yes, it is a good score.  It is above average.  The range from 85 to 115 is low average to high average.  Remember though that if it came from an on line test they score higher than the real IQ tests.  An IQ score is only a number.  It is not who you are.  Much more important than your IQ score is how you use it.

a score of 115 is over the top of the bell curve well enough to be considered very good. \n\nIf you do not know what a bell curve is please go to your councilor and ask them. they can draw it out for you and explain what it is and how you place on the curve.\n\nAnd oh yes, Keep up the good work....

i dont see how the second person is answering ur question, they seem to be digressing.\n\nto the extent that i know 3.1 is a good score, but you will have to see what field of study u want to go in to before you are able to find good scholarships

460 is quite low; however, there are schools that would accept it. Check with your chosen schools to see how close you are to the median. If these scores are below the median for your schools, you'll need to improve your scores. Invest in a preparation course and get the scores you want. \ngood luck

I have. That was one year ago though and I can't remember a decent score. Try asking your leader about that.

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.
