You know the PSAT/NMSQT that doesn’t really count as anything, it’s just preparation for the SAT basically… Well I just got my scores back and was wondering what’s a typical good score? I scored in the 98% in critical reading, 85% in mathematics and 93% in writing skills
Raw ScoreGraded Score
Writing Skills
Section 1 XXX XXX
Section 4 18 340
Section 8 25 370
Section 10 12 310
Total 55 1020
Critical Reading
Section 3 22 360
Section 6 10 300
Section 9 12 310
Total 44 970
Mathematics
Section 2 20 350
Section 5 7 290
Section 7 6 280
Total 33 920
I have no idea what any of this means and I’m pretty new to the whole SAT business. I just took this free practice test from proprofs.com
Is this bad/good?
Any idea what my actual SAT score report would say?
sorry its kind of confusing, the number after the section # is the raw score and the number after that is the graded score. Each subject has a total score at the bottom.

ill be a Junior this school year and taking SATs soon..
any advice for SAT preparation and studying techniques?
i took a practice exam for the first time last month and achieved the following results:
Math: 520
Critical Reading: 570
Writing: 540
Cumulative Score: 1630
..am i in deep trouble?
I got 330 on the critical reading part, 380 for writing and 490 for math which is a combined score of 1200… I’m supposed to take the real thing tomorrow so I would like to know if I should worry or not… and is the real test easier or harder than the real thing???
I want to know if the 30 composite score is better than my SAT scores?
Here’s how I did
Composite = 30
Math = 36
Reading=24 (The time was too short)
Science = 33
Writing not available yet (I did write more than on SAT)
SAT
Composite = 1860
Critical Reading = 600 (I thought I could of done better)
Math = 770
Writing part = 490 (I just can’t write in time allowed, only about 250 words)
I want to get into a demanding major (Computer Science) they want combined math/reading to be 1450 minimum on SAT. (I currently have a 1370).
Did I do better on the ACT comparatively?
I forgot to say
ACT English =27
As far as math I’ve never had a problem it just make sense to me. I missed one geometry problem on SAT and that’s why 770. My subject SAT math is 760 & 800. I could have done better. I’ve also had the BEST math teachers.
Writing MC: 0 wrong
Math MC: 0 Wrong
CR: 1 Wrong
in a collegeboard practice exams
okay so critical reading most likely 0 wrong is an 800?
okay so I guess it depends?!?!?
i got 1790 on the PSAT.
so im taking classes, and
the first diagnostic test, i got a 1590.
the second one, i got a 1740.
Critical reading- 520 ):
writing- 600
math- 620
i have 8 more weeks of SAT class.
I did pretty well the first time I took my SAT. I scored a 2000. But now I want to score 2200+
I have been working hard and taking numerous practice tests. But all I keep getting are the same scores close to 2000. It is really frustrating. Now I have the SAT in 3 months so there is some urgency to improve. How can I improve??? (Note: I do analyze my results after I take a test and see why I get it wrong.)
Math: I know A LOT MORE MATH now than the first time I took the test. Still, I score in the same range as before. What do I do?
Critical Reading: I have hit a plateau. What are your successful strategies in taking this section.
Writing: Essay is my weakness.
Hi there ^^
Just received my ACT score and i got a composite score of 27 on it (I know it’s bad… but I did absolutely no preparation before hand). I also took the SAT in march and got a 1980 with basically no preparation beforehand.
Both are pretty awful scores in my book and on these forums but I was curious as to what I should retake in the fall. I’m going to be a senior and will have a pretty heavy schedule next year.
On the SAT my weakest section is always critical reading and on the ACT its the science section. My math isn’t in the 700+ region on the sat and i only got a 29 on the math on the act.
I was thinking of retaking both but im afraid im gonna run out of time to study in september because of a heavy load of ap classes
Any help is much appreciated
Please dont tell me my scores are fine when I clearly asked for some help T_T
The scores are not high enough for the schools I am applying to therefore the advice does not apply.. =/
I’ve taken three practice SAT tests over the past week from three different sources, and I’ve gotten three different score ranges. Which one of these is the closest to what I will score on the actual test, and why are there such huge discrepancies?
Princeton Review (online): Math – 570 / Critical Reading – 590 / Writing – 550.
SparkNotes (online): Math – 600 / Critical Reading – 700 / Writing – 660.
CollegeBoard (online): Math – 620 / Critical Reading – 750 / Writing – 700.
As you can see, there are some pretty big error margins. Which one should I trust?
Also, is Collegeboard the official maker of the SAT? That’s what I’ve heard. If so, shouldn’t their’s be the best bet?
