Is 1230 a alright SAT score? Remember scoring has changed?

1230 out of 2400 is not very good.  thats a 410 out of 800 on each section.  i'd take it again if i were you.\n\nconversion charts i've seen would put that at about 700 out of 1600

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

Liz,\na "good" score is very subjective and depends on what schools you want to attend. 50% is roughly 1400, and 90% is roughly 1900. But none of these figures matter to you. What's important is the median score of freshmen incoming to your schools of choice. What's "good" is being above the median. Pick 5 schools or so, call their admissions office and request this datum from each, and use the highest number. This is "good". Then attend a free practice SAT at your local Kaplan center to get a score. This is where you are today. Consider how far you are from your "good" in deciding where to go, how to prepare for the SAT, and what to do your Junior year/summer. And don't forget to check out the ACT - many students do much better on that standardized test. \n\nAbove all, research your target schools. Do your homework, take control of your life now, and you'll stay in control when admissions papers come in.\n\ngood luck!

I missed only one question and that was because some colors look exactly the same to me and received a 166. My fiance missed more including math and received a 161. My take is do not worry about it. It is an inaccurate scale of intellect.

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.

depends on what kind of exam you are talking about.  If you mean SAT it should just be a matter of contacted them via the web.  But they may not keep record of them that long.  If you went to college at all they should have a copy of your scores also.\n\nI would be happy to offer more assistance but I don't know what kind of scores you are looking for.\n\nGood luck

lol...if you have to ask, you must not be too concerned with the results of the test. BTW, 2400 is a perfect score.

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.

I am eager to know this as well.  I searched the web and found that the Friday before Thanksgiving (today) was often the day the scores were released.  However, since NBPTS sent me 4 emails yesterday saying that they were on track to post the score results before December 31st I assume it won't be for awhile.

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.

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

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.

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

The SAT website has a page on how to request old, archived SAT scores. Just follow their directions.

That SAT score puts you around the 80 percentile which isn't bad.  Under the old system I think it would have been around an 1200.  A 26 on the ACT puts you very near the 80% percentile as well if I'm not mistaken.  Both of those are "above average" scores.\n\nAs far as whether that will get you into UT Austin the answer is probably not by itself. It's still worth a shot however, just be sure to include the best references and essay you can.\n\nI applied to UTA and Texas A&M with slightly higher scores (1280 under the old system and a 28ACT) and was declined but they both offered to let me attend satellite schools on a kind of probationary period with the option of transferring to the central schools after a year.  \n\nI ended up getting a free ride at UT Tyler and have enjoyed it enough that I never pursued transferring to Austin.  \n\nI’m not familiar enough with Miami or Pepperdine to answer that part of your question but I hope this helps.\n\nBest of Luck!\nArmus
