Hey guys, I've recently taken the SAT and I'm curious to see how my score compares to others. Is there a reliable source for SAT score rankings that could give me an idea of my percentile? Thanks!
Hi there! You can find reliable SAT percentile rankings on the College Board website, as they're the organization that administers the SAT: https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-percentiles-and-score-rankings
Percentiles are used to help you understand how your score compares to others. For example, if your score is in the 90th percentile, it means you scored higher than 90% of test-takers. Keep in mind that percentile rankings may vary slightly from year to year as new data becomes available, but they should give you a general idea of where you stand among other test-takers.
Additionally, many college admissions websites offer resources and information on SAT percentiles to help students get a better understanding of their scores. Remember that while your SAT score is important, it's only one part of your overall application. Colleges consider other factors like your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays as well when making admissions decisions. Good luck!
