Hey everyone, I just got my SAT scores and ended up with a 1460. I'm a bit unsure about how this score measures up in percentiles. Can anyone share some insight into what percentile a 1460 would fall into?
A 1460 on the SAT is an excellent score and generally falls around the 96th percentile. This means that you scored better than approximately 96 percent of test-takers.
It's worth mentioning that percentiles can fluctuate slightly based on the test administration date and specific composition of test-takers, but they usually remain fairly consistent.
Furthermore, remember that while SAT scores are an important aspect of college applications, many colleges adopt a holistic approach to reviewing applications. Therefore, other factors such as GPA, extracurricular activities, recommendations, and essays will also play a crucial role in the admissions decision.
Best of luck with your college applications!
