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

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.

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.

Typically, you should have 3 overall scores. Each of these scores is out of 800, and the average is (or probably should be) in the 500 range.\n\nSo you add the three together to get your overall SAT score.\n\nI took the SAT in April of 2001, so I had the old one.\n\nMath: 560\nVerbal: 560\n\nOverall: 1120 (I did better on the GRE)\n\nYour should say:\n\nMath: x\nVerbal: y\nWriting: z\n\nSo it's x+y+z\n\nThe significance of the scores depends on the selectivity and the geographic location of the undergraduate schools you're applying to.

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!

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

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.

Most schools are now using data from all three (out of a total 2400).\n\nHowever, since statistics take a while to gather, some are still using the old system, which only encompasses reading and math (for a total 1600).\n\n1300 would be a pretty low score for the new system, so I would assume it was from the old one.

Are you talking about the OLD SAT?  The highest for that is 800 in Reading and 800 in Math.

the sat goes to 2400 now, i didnt even know that. I thought it still went to 1600 in which case a 1570 would put you in the category of "genius".

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 would take the SAT again, unless you run the risk of scoring lower than 1170 if you take it again. Since it is such a selective program, you need to get a bit higher than the minimum score to get in.\n\nGood luck!

the average score in math was 518, 508 for verbal on the "old version" of the sat (no written portion.  anaylisis of results for the "new sat" won't be available until august 2006

I am not exactly sure what you mean. If 1170 is your score under the old system, the current equivalent would be 1755. If 1170 is your score under the new system, the old equivalent would be 780.

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

it depends. Is this the new SAT where the score is 2400? If so, more than likely most schools will not offer over 1/2 of expenses in scholarships.\n\nIf this was the old SAT with it's 1600, then you're in good fitting. Most schools will offer you a decent scholarship. However, if the school has a large number of students (20,000 and above), you'll be competing against more students with a high scores and GPAs, so you will likely not get much from them.

Umm...actually. The total score now is 2400. They've added a writing section and changed the Verbal section to Critical Reading.\n\nI wasn't aware that mark you based on where you are. :| The highest score you can get in MA...is the same as the highest score you can get anywhere else. 2400. Though only very few get as high. I believe only 200 or more students got a perfect score in the new SAT.

The link below gives the average scores for the Reading and Math sections up until 2004. Because the writing section was released so recently, there are no conclusive data regarding average and good scores. I would expect an average score now would be between 1400 and 1900 and a "good" score would be above that. 2400 should be the max as it is three sections.
