Is a 2250 SAT good?

Test Preparation
1

<p>so i took the SAT I and got a 2250 first time. I got:</p>

<p>CR- 650
MATH- 800
WR- 800</p>

<p>Im not really too familiar with what is good or not. I feel like the 650 is a little low, especially compared with the others. Also, I am Hispanic so could that help when applying to colleges in terms of them viewing the low reading score better?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help.</p>

<p>CR should be a little higher…</p>

<p>Is English not your first language? That might help explain the low CR score, but being a URM in general will help you with admissions. Even at top schools you’d be a fairly reasonable applicant with those scores, especially if you have a high GPA and solid ECs.</p>

<p>Congratulations on the 800s! Because colleges take your best combined scores you can study really hard for the CR and send an improved CR score with the 2 800s. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>“Good” is relative, but your scares are at least “good”. </p>

<p>Even a 650 puts you in the 89th percentile.</p>

<p>A 2250 composite probably puts you in the 99th percentile overall.</p>

<p>I think this need not be relevant, but here are scores by “ethnic group”.</p>

<p>in 2008 a 2250 or better ata single test sitting was achieved by 11972 students.</p>

<p>Call it top 12,000, which is also the top 8/10ths of 1%.</p>

<p>Darned good.</p>

<p>Yes, it’s good. However, some schools don’t give much weight to Writing score, so your combined M+CR is 1450…which is a bit less impressive.</p>
