Hi guys, just started prepping for the SATs and duh, they're tough! How's everyone scored in the Math section? What's like the average score now?
The SAT math scores typically range from 200 to 800, with 500 being about the median score. However, it's important to remember that averages can also vary a bit depending on which subset of test-takers you look at. For instance, students applying to more selective colleges and universities generally have higher average scores.
In 2021, the College Board reported that the mean score for the math section was around 528. But still, a "good" SAT math score can be quite subjective and might depend on your personal goals and the academic profiles of the institutions you're interested in.
When putting together an SAT prep plan, consider not only averages but also the scores required or recommended by the colleges you aim to apply to. Additionally, a tailored approach that addresses your unique strengths and weaknesses can be much more effective. Good luck with your prep!
