Hey everyone, I was wondering if there's a source where I can find the average SAT scores for each state? I'm curious how my state compares to others. Thanks in advance!
Hello! While I don't have a direct source to link, I can certainly point you in the right direction. The College Board releases an annual SAT Suite of Assessments Program Results report that contains information about average SAT scores by state. You can search for the most recent report on the College Board's website, and it should provide the average SAT scores for each state.
Keep in mind that these state averages may not always perfectly represent the scores of students applying to competitive colleges, as state averages take into account all test-takers, including those not planning to attend a four-year college. However, it's still an interesting way to see how your state compares to others when it comes to standardized testing performance. I hope this helps!
