<p>Hello everybody,</p>
<p>I am an Italian/Moroccan student in the 12th grade, and will take the SAT next month, and it's my first time.
So can you guys tell me please what goes into a good SAT score? Any advices?</p>
<p>Thank you anyway :)</p>
<p>“Good” is relative to the colleges you apply to. </p>
<p>For example 2100 may seem amazing for middle tier schools, but for Ivies it may seem low. A lot of practice.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that anything over 2250+ is pretty much akin to 2400.</p>
<p>1900s is considered good for most people in the real world. 2000 breaks a “good score” in my mind if you’re academically serious, 2100 a really good score, 2250+ is great</p>
<p>Need at least 700s on each part of the SAT for ivy leagues, and other top schools such as Stanford.</p>
<p>Even 690 wouldn’t work since the score for each section is looked at in 50 point increments.</p>
<p>^No, they look at your exact scores. Colleges release data with score brackets, this is true, but when they look at your score they’ll see a 690, not a 650-700.</p>
<p>Ik that. I’m saying that Ivy League schools only accept kids that get a 700 or above on each section, and nothing less.</p>

<p>That is definitely not true. A cursory look at the data for Ivy League SAT scores will reveal that many of the middle 50% ranges start in the high 600s.</p>
<p>@mac21398 not true. You don’t “need” a 700 on every section to java a chance of getting in. A student could have 650 or 680 but have a stellar rest of the application.</p>
<p>Also, to back up zaaakk’s post:

<p>you could only get a 650 to 680 or below if you’re being recruited, or you’re a minority.</p>
<p>If you’re a junior and it’s the first test you’ve ever taken, a good score would be around 1800-1900. If you’ve taken prep course or studied quite a bit, you should be looking to get a 2000 at least.</p>
