The SATS is a test that has proven to be a good predictor of how well an individual will succed in college. While it dose not carry the tremendous weight with admissions offices that it once did it remains a crucial factor. If you are in high school now they will also consider class rank and extra curricular activities. If you are an adult life experience may count as well as an essay.

Yes, it does. Write them out part by part on a paper.

PSAT is supposed to be an easier version of the SAT. If you study for the SAT you should do fine on the PSAT. It is mostly likely the same type material. I used to work at Kaplan and the PSAT were in the same class as the SAT students.

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

I'm not sure.  Under the old scale, where 1600 was the max, yes, that would be a very good score.  However, if that is the new system, where 2400 is max, I am unsure.\n\nUnder the 1600 point maximum scale, 1250 was roughly the 98th percentile, meaning that 98 percent of the people taking the test in that test period scored less than 1250.\n\nIt would depend on the scale you are measuring by, but percentile rank is the key.\n\nIf it is the SAT II, it is a good score, if it is SAT I, it is an excellent score.\n\n\nEdit:  That is a huge range, can't they be any clearer.

It depends on your other stuff.  SAT scores are only one portion of the application.  You have outside actitivies and all that.  On the old exam, you would probably want to get at least 1500.  Even a 1600 didn't guarantee anything obviously.  Translated to the new score, that's about 2250.  You can get in with lower obviously if you have outstanding something else (sports, winning national or international competitions, etc.).

You should be able to find this at the SAT reporting website CollegeBoard National Reports.  They like to brag.  I am sure you should be able to get up to date info.  I found a link to the archives.  I hope this helps.

It depends entirely on which test you took.  Some only count right answers, some deduct a set percentage for wrong answers.  It really depends on the test.

For college admissions, grades and SATs (and in some selective colleges SAT Subject Tests), the college often has its own complex formula with variables involving everything from class rank to your basic SAT Verbal score.  They then come out with a number which, in some cases, can either automatically rule you out, or send your application on to the next reader.\nWhile solid GPAs and SATs/ACTs are important as hell, extracurriculars, electives, and out of school classes or activites as well as awards taken (or won) for extended periods of time, showing your passion in specific subjects can be just as important as your GPA and test scores combined.\nBut, above all, if you DO have an academically solid application, they will also want to see strength in your essay.  Many a good book has been written for the specific purpose of college essay writing (I recommend Amazon for this), and it is the one point where you and your application is supposed to stand out among the thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of other applicants.  Essays are supposed to show your personality, so TAKE TIME ON IT.\n\nThat is my advice and experience.\n\n\nP.S. I am still in high school, and I've gotten a 730+ on each of the SAT 1 sections, and an 760 and 730 on my World History and Math C2 Subject Tests.  My school does not provide GPA, but I've mathematically estimated it's in the region of 3.6.  I'm considering the following universities: George Washington University, Brown University, New York University, University of California: Berkeley, and Columbia University.

Yes the above poster is correct but is also cocky...this is NOT a college test...it is a HIGH SCHOOL test but for some advice...memorize the TYPES of errors they give....doing so made writing my best section on the SAT last time rather than the worst which it was before that.

All Universities in the U.S. have the right to accept or reject any application for whatever reason they see fit.  The SAT is just a score they can use to judge you against other possible students.  Normally (but not always) with a high enough score you will be more apt to be accepted.  Often grades and extra-curricular activites play just as large of role as any test scores.

The people who said 1600 is the top score are no longer right - under the new system, there are additional sections that add points.  However, a 1400 is still pretty good; right around average.  I would see what your percentiles are (for example, being in the 70th percentile means you scored higher than 70% of the people) for a better idea of how good you did.  The new SAT scores are different, and there's not a real good basis for what's good or bad yet.  However, I don't think you have anything to worry about. :o)

It makes no difference, score from each taking are separate.\n\nWhen I was teaching in China a lot of my students had taken tests before and gotten low scores. After my classes they took tests again and their higher scores meant they got into Universities in other countries.\n\nBUT, if you have taken the test before and got a high score you will lose it by taking the test again, it is only the last score that counts.

SAT II test results are NOT added up. They are reviewed individually, as a tertiary filter after GPA/SAT I scores. Your Math 2c score is impressive, and youre Lit/Bio scores are quite decent. What's more important, though, is your ACT or SAT I score. Based on your test results I strongly recommend that you take the ACT; in my experience, people who are good at math/sciences do much better on the ACT than on the SAT I. Most schools will accept either, so take both if you aren't sure. Better yet, attend a free practice test at your local Kaplan center to see which test is "kinder" to you. \ngood luck!
