Better than say 1000+ is good. Really good is 1100-1200. The best is 1300-1500 and perfect is 1600 i think. Just try to get somewhere in the 1000s or higher total.

a 1420/1600 is really good! You'd have a solid enough score to apply to the top 25 nationwide schools, and even some Ivies

Depends if your taking the new SATs...if you are, then the max is 2400. If your taking the old ones, then it is 1600.

I'm an SAT tutor and basically what it comes down to is practice. Get yourself a review book (you can find them in any bookstore - Barrons, Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc) so you can familiarize yourself with the types of questions you'll see on the SAT. If you can, take a diagnostic test to see what areas you're strong in and which areas need work. Then practice. Take at least one timed practice exam so you can learn how to pace yourself. If you've already taken the SAT and want to improve, look at your score reports and see where you need the most work. Then do a lot of practice problems. \nThere are also courses, but they can be expensive.

Colleges look at more than the SAT or ACT score. They will also want to look at your gpa and if you've taken college prep classes in high school. The ACT composite is what many colleges with use. And an 18 isn't great, but if you have an acceptable gpa you can still get into college. Your math score indicates that you can thrive in the English language environment, and college admissions officers will note that.\n\nI think you should talk to your counselor about taking the TOEFL that's the SAT when English is not your native language. Many colleges will prefer that for students who were not born English language speakers.\n\nGood luck!

Yeah just take a few pratice tests from the practice books. Then I reccomend doing a Princeton Review or some other training program, though costly it'll get you results. Almost everyone's score goes up after taking those. Mine did too. And be sure to take the PSATs.

You know, it's really sad that you have to resort to being mean because you got a wrong answer.  If someone were to ask you why it's now 2400, could you answer.  \n\nIt's obvious that the responders to your question are the dopes.  Sounds to me that you could use a lesson in humility.  Unless you're a highschool senior (which is when SATs are taken) chances are most people won't know the score was changed (or why).\n\nPS - In case you don't know why - you now need to write an essay.

It sounds like the new scoring systems has everyone a bit confused... some schools asked for all three scores, but only consider the reading & math scores.\n\nHere are average scores on the most recent test: 520 math and 508 verbal for a combined score of 1028.  The most selective schools (e.g., ivy league) typically had SAT averages north of 1400 (combined math & verbal, not all three tests).\n\nSo I guess it's a question of how you did on the math & verbal, and what is your goal in terms of schools.  You can find out what your target schools' average SAT scores for entering Freshmen by looking on their websites or contacting their admissions offices.

The people who said 1600 is the top score are no longer right - under the new system, there are additional sections that add points.  However, a 1400 is still pretty good; right around average.  I would see what your percentiles are (for example, being in the 70th percentile means you scored higher than 70% of the people) for a better idea of how good you did.  The new SAT scores are different, and there's not a real good basis for what's good or bad yet.  However, I don't think you have anything to worry about. :o)

Your GPA and SAT matter. Be specific about what school you want, and look up their requirements.  Its going to be a higher SAT if your GPA is less than perfect.

You might want to buy US News' or Newsweek's annual college report from the local bookstore. It offers comprehensive statistics on the average GPA and test scores of American colleges, as well as guides on how to prepare for college and choose colleges.\n\nCombined SAT I scores range from 600 - 2400. 2150 and above is normally considered a competitive score. Like the SAT I subsections, each of the three SAT II scores  ranges from 200-800. Some colleges may ask for more or less than 3 SAT II tests, or may require a specific SAT II test. 650+ is generally considered competitive.\n\nBeing accepted into college really depends on other factors including your GPA, extracurricular activities, goal, and of course, the college you're applying to.
