I got an around 1600 on my SAT; is that good?

Question

cuz my dad wants me to get 2000 or above

Answer 1

Not bad.

Answer 2

A 1600 isn't bad, but it's not that great either.

I'd call a 2000 a little un-practical. Take an SAT-Prep course and take it 1 more time.

Answer 3

actually 2000 is approachable

i've raised my score from 1580 to 2120 :)

hope this'll make you feel better

Answer 4

You should look at the Critical reading and Math portions of the exam, since that is what colleges look for

a 1600 shouldn't be bad if you scored in all sections more than 500.

Answer 5

Don't they send those charts any more?  Don't you know how to read one? If you don't, ask you dad to explain it to you.  Something like 40% of the people who take the SAT did better than you did.

How old are you?  Unless you're a senior this fall, concentrate this summer on reading hard books and magazines articles. (How to tell if it's hard?  If the ads are for things you like, it's not hard enough.) Wait until next spring to take it again.
