Hey guys, does anyone know where I can find information on top SAT scores by state? I'm just curious to see how my score compares to others in my state.
Sure, you can find the average SAT scores by state on the College Board's website, specifically in their annual SAT Suite of Assessments Program Results report. This data is usually provided alongside participation rates. It's important to note that these numbers reflect the average scores, not the top scores.
Keep in mind that comparing your SAT score to others in your state might not be the most effective approach, as different colleges and universities have different expectations. It's more helpful to compare your SAT score to the middle 50% range of the schools you're interested in, as that will give you a better idea of your competitiveness within that specific applicant pool.
