Hi everyone, I've been preparing for the SAT and I'm a bit stressed about my math score. I was wondering, what's the average math SAT score? Knowing a ballpark figure might help me with my preparation!
Sure, happy to share that info with you! The average SAT Math score typically falls around 530 - 540 out of 800 for the general student population. However, keep in mind, average math scores often vary depending on the colleges you're interested in. For instance, if you're aiming for highly selective universities, their average SAT math scores will be typically much higher, often above 700.
But, remember, your SAT score is just one piece of your application. While it's important, colleges are looking at your overall academic record, extracurriculars, essays, and more to understand you as a complete applicant. While practicing, you can always use resources like the College Board's Official SAT Study Guide or the Bluebook app to help with your preparation. Keep your own targets in view, work hard, and stay calm. Good luck with your preparation!
