as of 2021, the college board no longer offers sat subject tests<\/a>. however, if you have already taken them and are wondering about your scores, the info below can help you evaluate them!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n how do you decide what a good sat subject test score is? a score at or above 700 on any test would be considered a good sat subject test score at elite colleges (schools that accept 20% or fewer of applicants). if you\u2019re not applying to elite schools, scores at or above mean scores (which are typically a little higher than 600) aren\u2019t shabby, either.<\/p>\n here\u2019s a good rule of thumb: find out what a good sat score<\/a> on the general test is for the schools you’re targeting, then aim to achieve a similar score on the subject tests. that will certainly get you a good sat subject test score!<\/p>\n the following chart shows the scores 700, 750 and 800 and their most recent percentile rank<\/a> for a few subject tests. you’ll also find average sat subject test scores here, as well. finally, this table includes the most recent percentile ranks<\/a> for the math and evidence-based reading and writing sections of the regular sat for better comparison:<\/p>\n <\/p>\nhow do we know what a good subject test score is?<\/h2>\n
