Your score might be outdated (I think they expire within a certain number of years, so your old score is no longer valid). Therefore, go retake the test. I’m not exactly sure how you would score these days, since a new writing section was added to make the 2400 possible points. I guess you can try to predict your writings score based off of your verbal score, but that’s not a good way to do it. Your 1260 in the verbal and math areas translates to the same score in the critical reading and math areas of today’s tests.

Unless you’re trying to get into a very prestigious university, your old-version SAT score should be a decent score to get you into a lot of schools (especially if you are an older or other type of non-traditional student). It’s not really accurate if you try to translate your old score into the new version of SATs because they’ve added a writing section which changes the proportions a little bit. If the school you’re interested in doesn’t list SAT requirements in the old form of SAT, call the admissions office and ask someone about it or check the nontraditional admissions section of the site.

Oh, and to my knowledge, your SAT score won’t ever expire. However, it is a slightly bigger pain in the butt to get old scores (pre-2002) reported to the university from the College Board, so hopefully you still have official paperwork for the scores.

Good Luck!
