Hey y'all, I recently got my SAT scores and ended up with a 1280. I'm pretty happy about it, but I'm curious about what percentile I'm in. Can anyone help me out?
Hey there! Congrats on your 1280 SAT score! Percentiles can help you understand how your score compares to the scores of other test-takers. A 1280 SAT score typically falls around the 95th or 97th percentile. This means that you scored higher than approximately 95-97% of other test-takers. Keep in mind that percentiles may vary slightly depending on the specific test date and cohort, but this should give you a good estimate.
It's great that you're happy with your score, and remember that different colleges have varying SAT score expectations. Make sure you take a look at the middle 50% SAT score range for the schools you're interested in to see how your score aligns with their expectations. Good luck!
