Hello all, I've been going over my SAT scores and I'm unsure of what percentile I fall into. Anyone know where I could find a reliable SAT percentile chart? Thanks!
Hi there! I see you're looking for a reliable SAT percentile chart. You're in the right place! College Board, the organization that administers the SAT, also provides percentile charts. These charts give you an idea of how you stack up against other test takers.
For instance, if you're in the 80th percentile, this means you scored higher than 80% of test takers. It's an effective way to gauge your performance beyond just the raw score.
The most accurate and updated SAT percentile charts would be on the College Board's official website. However, these charts can sometimes be a bit hidden or tough to find because their website is vast.
You'll usually find the information under the "Understand Your Scores" or the "SAT Score Ranges" section.
Remember, while your percentile can give you a sense of how you compare to other students, colleges care about your actual score too. Most colleges publish the 25th to 75th percentile range of SAT scores of their admitted students, which can give you an idea of whether your score is competitive for those institutions. Good luck!
