<p>what do u parents think is a good score for the new sats... relative to the top 20ish schools</p>
<p>I'll let you know as soon as my daughter gets her delayed results. :)</p>
<p>Seriously, my guess is that any score over 2000-2100 is going to put you in range for the most selective schools.</p>
<p>My son took the new sats, thought he did well and ended up with a 1620 and is very upset. He also took the acts this past saturday,thought they were difficult. He will retake the sat in May, but he has heard from his peers that that the scores in general were not higher than 1800.</p>
<p>As I posted on another thread my D also thought the new one was esay. Came out with a 1950, got 1410 on the old. She then spoke with others in her school as well as her GC and foung that average will probably be around 1500.
It will be very hard to judge until the percentiles are released, even the colleges don't know exactly how to interpret the scores as of yet. You can only determine what is good by knowing how others did. If the avergae is 1500, then anything above that is good. I agree the selective schools will probably expect 2000 or better, but at the same time, some have already said that SAT may end up being less of a factor in the sdmissions process for this years Jrs.</p>
<p>I would surmise that 2100+ will be needed for selective schools. Just guessing, but the Ivies et al will continue to look at the M and CR separately...for those two, 1500 looks much better than 1400. Those schools that previously required SATII Writing will be looking for a 700+ on that test as well. The essay score will be a factoid, since many privates are accepting last year's SAT as well, so there will be no comparison.</p>
<p>ETS reported that 103 students achieved a perfect 2400 score.</p>
<p>Just being mathematical about it, 100 old points = 150 new points. Therefore: </p>
<p>Old 1200 = New 1800</p>
<p>Old 1300 = New 1950</p>
<p>Old 1400 = New 2100</p>
<p>Old 1500 = New 2250</p>
<p>Old 1600 = New 2400</p>
<p>factor in fatigue!!! lol... and plus they made the math curve harder... no longer 2/3 wrong for an 800...</p>
