Hey everyone! I recently got my SAT scores from the November test, and I'm not sure if they're good enough. Can someone give me an idea of what's considered a good score for November? Appreciate it!
Hey there! Congrats on completing your SAT! It's important to note that a "good" SAT score is fairly subjective and depends on your college goals, the schools you're planning to apply to, and your own academic background.
However, to give you a general idea, the SAT is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, with 1600 being the highest score possible. The average SAT score of all test-takers is around 1050, with a score of 1200 typically considered above average.
You'll want to research the average SAT scores of admitted students at the colleges you're interested in to see how your score compares. A competitive score for more selective colleges might fall in the range of 1400-1600, while scores in the 1200-1400 range are generally more competitive for less selective institutions. It's wise to aim for a score that falls within the middle 50% (25th to 75th percentile) of admitted students at your target schools.
Best of luck in your college admissions journey!
