Hi there! I've heard about people scoring in the 98th percentile on the SAT, but I'm not sure what score that actually translates to. Can someone help clarify what score range typically falls under the 98th percentile? Thanks!
Hello! While the exact score that falls in the 98th percentile can vary from one test administration to another, it is generally around 1500. Scoring in the 98th percentile is quite an accomplishment, as it indicates strong performance across both the evidence-based reading and writing and math sections of the test. Keep in mind that percentiles may shift slightly, but this range should give you a rough idea of the SAT score that corresponds to the 98th percentile. Good luck on your SAT!
