What's the average English SAT score?

Hey everyone, I recently took the SAT and I'm not sure how well I did on the English section. Can anyone tell me the average English SAT score, so I can compare my results and see where I stand? Thanks!

Hey there! The average SAT score varies slightly from year to year, but for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) section, which most people refer to as the "English" section, the average score is typically around 530-540 out of 800.

Keep in mind that this average encompasses students at all levels. It's helpful to compare your score to the typical score range for the colleges you're considering, as this can give you a better sense of how competitive your score is for those particular schools.

To find the average SAT score for a specific college, you can usually search for the "[college name] class profile" or check out their admissions page. This information generally includes the middle 50% of accepted students' scores, which gives you an idea of the score range most successful applicants fall into.

Good luck!
