whether you are a student, a parent, or an administrator, we’ll guide you through what you need to know to analyze sat scores or set a goal score. <\/p>\n

according to the college board’s most recent data, the average 2024 sat score was 1024 (out of a possible 1600).<\/strong> <\/p>\n

a score of 1350 and above is generally considered to be a very good sat score<\/strong> as it puts you in the top 10% of test takers. <\/p>\n

but here’s the thing \u2013 these are just numbers. your score is just one snapshot of your academic potential. the sat isn’t a measure of your intelligence or a crystal ball predicting your future. it’s just one piece of the college admissions puzzle.<\/p>\n

so what makes a good sat score for you depends on your goals. the more competitive your dream schools are, the higher your target score should be. for fall 2025 admissions and beyond, many of the highest-ranked colleges and universities now require test scores. a good sat score can also land you a scholarship at many others. but it’s also important to remember that over 80% of colleges and universities have test-optional or test-free admissions policies, meaning you don’t have to submit sat scores to get in.<\/p>\n

so the answer to what makes a good sat score is a lot more nuanced than the national averages. by the end of this article, you should have all the information you need to make an informed decision about what sat scores mean for you. <\/p>\n
