Hey there, finished the SAT and earned a 1410 - feels pretty good TBH. I'm now trying to figure out what this score means in percentile terms. Which percentile does this fall into? Thanks in advance!
Congrats on your SAT score! A 1410 is absolutely something to take pride in – it's a fantastic score. The percentile tells you how you did compared to other test takers. If you're in the 90th percentile, for example, this means that you scored better than 90% of test takers.
As of the most recent data available, a 1410 SAT score would put you approximately in the 94th percentile. This means you scored higher than 94% of the students who took the test - so you're in the top 6%. That's an impressive result, and it should position you well as you begin applying to colleges.
Keep in mind, though, that colleges look at more than just your SAT score during the admission process. They'll also take into consideration factors like your high school GPA, course rigor, essays, recommendation letters, and extracurriculars. But a 1410 is a strong start! Nice job.
