Applying to College

<p>1500 + 760 = 2260</p>

42

<p>1290 + 740 = 2030</p>

<p>i'm the lowest score here so far! w00t. go me! hahahaha :/</p>

43

<p>1570 + 790 = 2360</p>

44

<p>from these observations.. i guess 2000 would be a decent/ok/slightly above avg score?</p>

45

<p>1530+770 = 2300</p>

46

<p>Also 1600+800=2400, but I heard the new SAT was easier...O__o</p>

47

<p>Well based on just adding all your scores from your previous tests..an "average" score might look like this:
Math SAT I: 400/800
Verbal SAT I:400/800</p>

<h1>Writing SAT II:400/800</h1>

<p>1200/2400
But the average for the SAT I is 1000, so...that can't be right. If we were basing it on a 1000 SAT I score and a 400 verbal, the score would be 1400/2400. A 1000 + 500 verbal would be 1500/2400. So yeah..2000 is probably in the decent-above average range. This reasoning is probably totally wrong though, you'd think the average would be at least above 1600.</p>

48

<p>1550 + 790 = 2340</p>

49

<p>1330 + 790 = 2120 </p>

<p>Anyone know what have a translation chart of how such scores would be viewed compared to old SAT?</p>

50

<p>1410 + 730 = 2140.</p>

51

<p>1520+800= 2320
Still looking for my 80 points :(</p>

52

<p>1410+750=2160</p>

Sucharita, is that actually your score? Did you really get a 1600 and an 800 on SAT II writting?

<p>Yes those are really my scores- the only good part of my applications in fact :(</p>

54

<p>1530+660=2190</p>

55

<p>The translation standard is available somewhere...I've seen it. Hopefully someone here will find it!</p>

56

<p>1490 + 660 = 2150 (:</p>

57

<p>1450 + 780 = 2230 wow, if this is true, I wish I took the new one, hahaha</p>

58

<p>1510 + 800 = 2310</p>

59

<p>1430 + 800 = 2230, man, wish the new one had been around when I was a senior</p>

<p>sarorah, you forgot that the bottom score is 200, not 0. that means that an "average" score is 500/800 (actually 508 for verbal and 518 for math). so, assuming that a 513 (1026/2) is an average, the conversion to new SAT would be 1539. (the average SAT II: Writing score is about 612, but this is a self-selecting group, meaning that it is very likely that the true population mean for all students who take SAT I would be lower, perhaps <500) however, collegeboard will probably take this opportunity to recenter the scales so the 50th percentile is fairly close to 1500, not 40 points higher.</p>

<p>PS - i would surmise that the 90th percentile composite score will be somewhere in the range of 1980-2010 while the 99th percentile will be 2210-2240 and that the 99+ percentile will be about 2300-2330</p>
