Are my SAT scores good enough for me to get into a good school?

Question

I received a 1970 on my SAT. (Critical Reading 650, Math 660, and Writing 660 with an 8 on my essay).

I thought I would do a lot better because I've taken online practice tests and always scored a 12 on my essay and did a little better in other areas but I suppose I was nervous.

I'm a junior with a 3.8, I volunteer a lot, and I'm President of a few clubs. I plan on taking the SAT again senior year but as is, do you think I did well enough to get into any competitive schools?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A 1970 is a solid score, not excellent, but enough for a competitive college. However, if you're looking at Ivy Leagues or Little Ivies you need to shoot for a 2100+.

Definitely take the SAT again, study hard, take a prep course, and your score will improve.

That all sounds good! You're definitely going to get into a good college, and possibly take the ACT. You never know which test suits you best.

Answer 2

goooood job!

aim for 2100!

Answer 3

SAT's must have changed...  the highest use to be 1600 (math and reading) lol

I'm not sure how to gauge those scores.

Answer 4

next time try to get around the 2000's or higher and you could get into an Ivy League School!

Try to get more extracurriculars and i think you will do great

aim to get a perfect score in one area and that will basically guarantee you a spot in an Ivy League

good luck!
