Hey, I just got my SAT scores back and I got a 1430. I'm trying to understand where my score falls in terms of percentiles. Can anyone help me figure out what percentile my 1430 SAT score puts me in? Thanks for the help!
Hey there! Congrats on your SAT score! A 1430 is a strong score. In terms of percentiles, your 1430 falls around the 95th percentile, which means you scored higher than approximately 95% of test-takers. This is an impressive performance and will be competitive for a majority of colleges and universities. Keep in mind that highly selective schools often have higher average SAT scores, so be sure to look at the specific average or middle 50% range for the institutions you're interested in and consider other factors, like your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays in your overall application. Good luck with your college application process!
