what's a decent score for the new SAT's?

Considering the New SAT is out of a score of 2400, you really should be shooting for anything above 600 in each section. 600 math, 600 critical reading, and 600 writing. 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.

Personally, I would aim for 2100 and above for the SATs in order to have a better chance at top 30 colleges.\n\nBut I think 1950 and above should be decent enough.\n\nOther than that, have\n1) excellent academics (great GPAs etc etc)\n2) a lot of extra curricular activities (Sports Scouts etc etc)\n3) volunteer work\n4) good essays\n5) good recommendations\n6) personal qualities\n7) good SAT scores\n\nIn no particular order. Remember to take your SAT II too.

For most Ivy Leagues, you won't have a much of a shot at getting in without a straight A average and a schedule loaded with as many AP classes as possible. And don't forget about the SAT. To be competitive, you need to score around 2100 under the new scoring system, or 1400 under the old system. Extra-curriculars are also really important. Try to be in lots of clubs, and be an officer in as many clubs as you can.

That's great! It translates to about 1450 or so on the old SATs, if that helps. Most scholarships haven't necessarily adapted to this score though, so if you see a request for the score out of 1600, add the scores from the Verbal and Math sections.

I'm not aware of any such link sorry. But what I know is, most colleges do not have a cutoff point for the SATs. So with your above average score, you should be able to apply to most colleges easily.

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

I concur. Also with the ACT, but I'm starting to believe more in it now since I got a very high score, higher than what my grades would put me as, showing I am unmotivated :D I got suckered into an AP exam and I guess it's okay if you want to pay 80$ and die slowly yet surely when the questions keep coming and coming... I liked the SAT, though, because it was based more on grammar and literature, though I don't know a use for it.

You need at least a 3.5 (and excellent SATs) nowadays. They also favor those who can express themselves eloquently.

It sounds like the new scoring systems has everyone a bit confused... some schools asked for all three scores, but only consider the reading & math scores.\n\nHere are average scores on the most recent test: 520 math and 508 verbal for a combined score of 1028.  The most selective schools (e.g., ivy league) typically had SAT averages north of 1400 (combined math & verbal, not all three tests).\n\nSo I guess it's a question of how you did on the math & verbal, and what is your goal in terms of schools.  You can find out what your target schools' average SAT scores for entering Freshmen by looking on their websites or contacting their admissions offices.

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.

that's an awful score, considering it's out of 2400\n\non the old scale, thats about a 700 out of 1600.  i'm not even joking\n\ngood luck getting into a decent college with that.

The new SAT is out of 2400 points, 800 for verbal, 800 for math, and 800 for the "new" writing section, which is really the SAT II Writing put into the test. The test was designed as a way of determining who fits where mostly in the University of California system. The scores aren't really inflated but just out of a new total. The test is also longer than the original.

You should take it again.  There is an excellent study guide called "Cracking the New SAT" and it's by The Princeton Review.  I highly recommend it... it will really help you get past the "evil tricks" on the test to get your best score possible.  For example, did you know that the SAT questions come in Easy, Medium, and Difficult?  And most sections go in order, so you can tell which ones are "supposed" to be harder than other ones?  And if you avoid the Difficult ones and focus on the ones you can actually answer, you will get a much better score?  Uh-huh, believe it!  Get the book, it rocks.  Good luck!
