What do these SAT statistics mean for a particular college.

<p>I use College Board and I get a range of scores.
For example: Critical Reading 500-620 MATH: 540-640, Writing: 520-630. What is this suppose to mean, is it best for me to score higher than the first number, such as in 500 in Critical Reading?</p>

<p>Most colleges list the 25th percentile (lower score) and the 75th percentile (higher score) for admitted students. For a Match school, you want to be above the 50th percentile so for CR around 560 or higher.</p>
