Is a 670 on the math section of the SAT an acceptable score for one applying to a top college?

I think on it's own now, your scores are already quite excellent. However, considering the fact that you are POSITIVE you will get a higher math score, perhaps it would be worthwhile to spend another four hours to push your score up even higher. Will you be able to achieve perfect scores in your Critical Reading and Writing section again? If not, just stick with your score now.\n\nI'm wondering whether the colleges you're applying to only take the highest scores, or if they only look at the most recent test score. \n\nPerhaps you should explain in your application that your intended major is journalism, and not math-related.

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

It really depends on the schools you apply to, and the major you intend to declare. If you didn't do so well on the math section but want to major in History or something, I think most colleges would look past it if you have everything else that they're looking for

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.

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.

Its not, unless your going for top 10% or honor student so you have a better chance at scholarships.  If you just want to pass, then it doesn't really matter.  Its good practice for when you get into college (when it does matter), but other then that I wouldn't worry so long as your not in danger of failing.

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!

NOPE, no such place. just take it easy, SAT is not all that bad.  besides you can take it more than once if you want, and the higher scores count

Truthfully, probably not.  The competition to get into prestigous schools is phenomenal and one of the barometers is the SAT.  It obviously consumes a lot of people.\n\nOut in the real world, your SAT score won't take you too far, but a college degree certainly will.  Do your best on your SAT's when you take them so you'll have the best choice of colleges available.  You don't have to score 1600 to succeed, despite what you might have heard.

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;)

Most place will take the highest verbal, math and writing scores from any of the times you take it.  You can mix scores to get your highest possible.  There are some places that only take the highest overall score from a sitting.  You can always email the school to find out which one it is.\n\nAlmost all college will not care about your lower scores if you only take the test twice.  I have heard about school looking at them if you take the SAT like five or more time.  This should not be for you.

460 is quite low; however, there are schools that would accept it. Check with your chosen schools to see how close you are to the median. If these scores are below the median for your schools, you'll need to improve your scores. Invest in a preparation course and get the scores you want. \ngood luck

It's probably not a set score (they're usually somewhat flexible if you excel in other areas) but since it is Ivy League, I would say it has to be pretty high for you to have a good shot. My old friends that went to Ivy League schools got a 1380 and a 1400, for instance.

Out of 1600. No, unless you're applying for a top-tier school.\nOut of 2400. Yes. Take it again.

The math section in SAT tests mostly the very basic Math of your math foundation. Definitely nothing you would not have already done in high school. Read the questions carefully and make sure you understand what they are asking.\n\nPractice a lot beforehand and you should be well-prepared enough to take the exam when the day arrives.
