I got a 1370 on my sats and a 20 on the acts.?

I know it is lower than i would like, but i don’t feel i would do better on them if i retake them. I plan on majoring in an art of somekind. Is this good enough?

Get the new US News report on colleges. Go to the far right side of the listings and look for the “Interquartile range.” Find a college that includes your score. Chances are that Princeton is at the top and IQR is around 2100-2350.

Your kind of school is probably on the second or third page because those scores are below average. If you plan to get into college and study art, you will need a portfolio of your work to show that you have talent and skill and aren’t just looking for an easy major, which art isn’t if you don’t have talent and skill.

1370 is significantly below average for the SAT exam. . The average score for the exam is a 1500(500 on each section). If you want to improve your scores, I highly recommend you do as much prep as you can. I suggest you use the following books to aid your studies….

1) The Princeton Review’s sat guide: This book contains a section known as the “Princeton Hot 100”, which is a list of the 100 most frequently covered words on the actual exam. In addition the Princeton Review’s guide helps students tackle questions they are unfamilar with time tested techniques.

2) Tutorfox.com’s New Sat guide: This is an online guide written by two students who got a 2400 and a 2350 on the SAT exam. The guide sells for only 10 dollars and extensively covers everything tested on the exam.

Try both of these books if you have the chance

If you have any questions and/or concerns let me know.

Regards,

Ben

Art isn’t about scores, it’s about creativity. Be yourself. That’s ALWAYS good enough. You’ll do fine if you just do your part the best you can and trust that you’ll get the experiences you need.
