Question

English: 34

Math: 28

Composite Score: 31

National percentile: 98%

And what do these scores mean? Are they good?

Writing:12

Composite writing/english: 25

I'm in california if that makes a difference

Answer 1

with a composite score of 31 you can probably get into both independent and some state schools. i would work on your science and math a bit before you take it again--they are by no means bad, like the other people are saying, but they could help boost your composite score.

Answer 2

Your percentile is pretty much a great indicator of how you did, which is Excellent. The most selective schools will think these are strong scores as well. And, I don't think the fact you live in CA makes a difference. All in all, good job.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

All those scores are more than above satisfactory, so I say yes. Your English score is especially good--only two points away from perfect.

A 31 is good and should give you many opportunities for scholarships.

Writing is on a different scale--it goes from 2 to 12. You did perfectly there.

Hope that helped.

Answer 4

Even your lowest scores, Math and Science are not at all bad and are way above the national average which is a 21.1 and you score 98% higher than everyone else.

Your in the top two percent, and since you're a smart person I'm sure you already know that you did great. If your GPA, activities, college essay, and recommendations are up to par, you should do fine getting into top schools around the U.S.

Answer 5

Your Math is pretty bad, and so is your Science...but your Composite is actually pretty good--good enough for some top schools.
