What is Good SAT Score?
There is no definition of a ‘good’ SAT score. Generally speaking, scoring close to the average (mean). It means 500 on critical reading and writing and 500 on mathematics – shows that a student has scored as well as about half of the other students who have taken the test.
Each college has its own way of using test scores and evaluating applicants. The Average SAT Scores reports sent to colleges include SAT Score Ranges and SAT Percentiles that provide some context for how well a student has performed in the test.
