I bought an SAT book thing by Collegeboard from Barnes and Noble. Collegeboard makes the test so I'd think that they're reliable.\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780874477184&itm=1

C, C, C, Just take a guess, I did! You'll do fine, on the SAT. The more you question yourself about it, the worse you will probably do. Good Luck!

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.

I suggest you look into the Kaplan review, they have very good reputation when it come to SAT (and other tests)

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.

The old SAT (a couple of years ago, you can't take it anymore) was \n800 verbal\n800 math\n1600 total\n\nThe new SAT (now only one you can take) is\n800 math\n800 verbal\n800 written\n2400 total

Most schools, including Ivy leaques, won't really look at the new Writing section too strongly (if not, at all). Just add your Critical Reading and Math scores together and weigh it on the 1600 scale.\n\nBut personally, 1701 is an above-average score, seeing as if you divide it by three you have about 560 each section? Unless you did extremely well in one section and not the other.\n\nYour score is fine unless you strive for Ivy Leaques!  Good job!

Yeah, they obviously don't know what the new SAT test is :)  Wasn't that horrible???  It is sooooooooooo long.  Anyway, there are a lot of good schools that you could get into - you did a TON of extracurricular work, so you should make that the backbone of your application.  Apply to your state's main public school as a backup (or not, some are really very good).  Apply to Loyola University of Chicago.  I applied there when I was a senior, and I know that they LOVE extracurricular work and volunteerism.  I read that you want to go into law, so it MIGHT help to go to a school that has a law school, but it really doesn't usually make a difference (that's what I've heard at least).  Best of luck!!!

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!

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.

Hey, I just took my Sat in may and im in canada..wehn i got my scores back they give a percentil of everyone who worte the test i think....i don;t think they divide it internationally.\n\nA good SAT score I think is about 1800/2400 but it depends on where u go and what the basic requirement is\ngood luck;)

That may not be that great. According to Collegeboard.com, the new system's essay section is also graded out of 800, so add that to the old SAT's 800 for math and 800 for verbal, the 1610 is out of a possible 2400. Previously 1600 was the highest possible score on the old SATs.\n\nI think the only way to know for sure how good a 1610 is would be to compare it to your percentile—based on how the rest of the nation scored.\n\nLets do some comparisons to current scores:\n\nI know that the University of Maryland prefers to admit very few students that scored under a 1200 on the old SATs. That's a 75%. The equivalent score on the new SATs would be an 1800.\n\nA 1610 is approximately 67%. That would equate to, on the old scale, barely more than 1070. I mean, most students a few years ago would be at least glad they "broke a thousand," but depending on what school they wanted to get into, it may not have been something to jump for joy about.\n\nOf course, the new SAT system being so untested means that the two scoring systems may not line up so easily. They may be grading the written portion much harder or grading the entire test on a harder scale. Only time will tell.

Well SAT scores from the 80s are definitely not valid now. You if want to join a school that requires SATs then you will need to take the SATs again. Check the website ETS.org for more information on the New SATs. The format has changed and compared to the old SAT it now has 3 sections -- Math, Reading and Writing (each worth 800 points with a total of 2400). I hope this helps.
