This is VERY important! (10 points to give away!) Are these SAT scores considered good?

Critical Reading – 520

Math – 470

Writing – 460

This was the score to me first SAT test. Please try to answer all the questions below:

1. For writing, I got a 460.Are the multiple choice and essay already added in or do I add that score to 460?

2. Please tell me if each score is considered good/ok/bad

3. Which of the three do most schools really look at? I know that the writing part is new so most schools aren’t too concerned with that.

4. Will I do better the next time I take it? (in October!)

5. How can I do well then next time around?

6. If my academic grades are shaky (D, C, and B’s) and I really didn’t do sports or get any awards at school, but I do well on the SATs, how will colleges look at that?

7. If you took the test, how did you do on it? (what were your scores and how did you prepare?)

Thank you all so much for answering these questions! I know I asked too much, but any detailed information you can give me will be very helpful!

1-2.This is about a B average on the SAT, the perfect score for the SAT’s are 1600.

3.The schools look at them equally along with your high school transcripts.

4.- 5.You might do better if you study, you can get some really good study material for taking the SAT’s at any good book store.

6. Again refer to 3.

7. Personally I scored a 1540! I don’t remember the individual scores any longer its been over 15 years, yet I bought some of the Best books on the market at the time to study.

Just remember one thing, Study as much as you can, but not the night prior to the test. And don’t go in with a nervous feeling about not getting into a particular school, this will only get your hopes up and you will do poorly on the test.

It’s only a test.

THIS IS NOT classed as cheating! There is a reason why AQA along with Edexcel, OCR and all the exam boards put their past papers on the Internet, because it is classed as revision tools, it is also supposed to help students see what a real paper looks likes, prepare them for it and also how to tackle the question along with the mark scheme. It is supposed to prepare you for similar types of questions, of course the same exact question you did wont appear but it may be similar. Also alot of exam board sites list spec for GCSE courses which has alot of information about subjects and topics students need to know about which again people think is classed as cheating. Although during my GCSE we re repeated going through exam papers this only made my confidence and grades get better because I practiced them and knew the style question that may be asked, perhaps you got worried because you had already seen the paper before your teacher started reading it but theres a reason why these exam boards put it on the world wide web! DO NOT PANIC! The files are legal and are supposed to be revision tools

Good answer form #1, but a correction.

The SAT is now 2400 pts, so your average score is really much lower.

Study hard and you’ll do better next time!
