Is an SAT score of 1770 okay?

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.

if ur not happy with ur score take em as many times as you can or till you get ur desired score. my cuzion took em 9 times before he got his desired score. his GPA was 3.9 outta 4.0 ok and he wanted his SAT scores to be around 1700 and he got that score one week before graduation. he got 1695 outta 1800. he got in to Yale

If your basics are strong for Mathematics and English, then its not very tough. But you need to study in a very planned way. Speed is also a factor for the test. \nThe average score i suppose is 500-510 on the scale of 200-800. I appeared for the test last month and it was not very tough.\n\nGood luck

yes you should, if you are aiming for a private university, you should probably aim for a 2200 or above.

I think at least an 1100 is good (scholarship wise).  I know that over 1200 is considered VERY good.  Congrats on doing so well.

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.

With an SAT score of 1570, I have to think many schools would take a "chance" on you despite failing history. Take a summer course to pass it, and apply wherever you like.\n\n(EDIT: Well, I didn't realize the SAT changed its cumulative scoring. However, your score would be roughly akin to a total of 1046 under the old format - not great, but not exactly disqualifying you from college, either. You should definitely see about taking a summer history course unless a college will let you take a remedial course as a condition of acceptance. If your GPA is otherwise OK, you can still get into a college - maybe you could do 2 years at a community college and transfer if necessary. Good luck.)

The test is supposed to be calibrated so that the average score for each section is 500, making the total average score around 1500.  I remember that my score of 2150 places me somewhere in the 90th percentile.  Just so you know though, the SAT seems like the biggest deal in the world in high school, but once you get out of the highly academically competitive atmosphere and into the real world, no one gives much of a damn what you scored on your SATs.  SAT scores ultimately have very little to do with success in my opinion. I know many people I would consider much brighter than me with lower scores.

i guess you got the equivalent of a 1400 on the version of the SAT I took...you probably have a good chance, just keep in mind soooo many try to enter the prestigious colleges/universities.  find a way to make yourself stand out from the crowd

depends on where you're trying to go to college. 36 is ideal though :p

Q. What is a Good SAT Score?\nFrom Jay Brody,\nYour Guide to College Admissions: U.S..\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\nA. The best possible score on the SAT is a 2400, a score achieved by just hundreds of the more than a million students who take the SAT each year. The average SAT score is about 1540. \nBut what's a good SAT score? While many students and parents ask that question, there really isn't a great answer. A good score on the SAT is different for each student, and depends on where you want to go to college. \n\nHere are some rough, unofficial estimates of the average SAT score at various schools. The average isn't necessarily the score you need to get into a college--there are plenty of factors other than SAT score at work, and by definition half of the students at any school are below the average. But it's a good ballpark figure if you're trying to decide whether your SAT score is good enough. \n\n\nHarvard - 2200 \nWilliams - 2125 \nUniversity of Virginia - 2000 \nUCLA - 1900 \nIowa State - 1825 \nOhio State - 1800 \nDePaul - 1750 \nArizona - 1700 \nUniversity of Indiana - 1650

If you can play football really well, the other things don't matter as much. I go to U of M. My scores were 1400 on the SATs (I took it before the writing section was added). I don't know what it would be now with all the changes.

The good news:  Your grades and an 800 in math on the SATs are impressive and some very good schools in the US will want you.\n\nThe bad news -- if you have a 1920 on the SATs, then you took the three part SAT exam and averaged 560 on the other two parts.  That won't cut it at the very top schools.  The average student accepted at Ivy League schools, Duke, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, MIT and Cal Tech has you beat by 200 to 300 points.  Many might think that these schools may discount your verbal scores since you are a foreign student.  But the fact is that the top schools get lots of applications from Asian students with nearly perfect SAT scores and can't take all of them.\n\nI think that you will get into a very good school.  I think that it is a stretch to get into the schools at the very top -- but it is not impossible.  Your chances will be improved if you indicate that you want to study mathematics or a science.  They will also improve if you are able to take the SAT again and bring up your verbal scores.

Depends if your taking the new SATs...if you are, then the max is 2400. If your taking the old ones, then it is 1600.
