<p>The admit rate for students with Critical Reading scores in the 750-800 range was 21% last year, versus 11% for students with reading scores in the 600-640 range. SAT score ranges can be found here (for the class entering in 2007): [MIT</a> Admissions: Admissions Statistics](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml)</p>
<p>If you’re serious about MIT, consider your options. You should be able to find out if you’re doing poorly on the vocabulary questions simply by looking over your previous SAT answers. If that’s your area of weakness, rather than reading comprehension, then you might consider taking the ACT rather than the SAT. You can find some online practice tests on the ACT website, and by trying a few, you can discover whether you perform better on the ACT, which does not include sections to test vocabulary. MIT will accept ACT scores.</p>
