Is 1270 a good score on the SATs?

Answer 1

For the old SAT, a 1270 SAT score is on the low end of the spectrum. The average SAT score is around 1500.

For the New SAT, out of 1600 the score would be significantly better. This score using the new test corresponds to a 1780 in the old SAT out of 2400.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you meant the Duke TIPS Program Pre-SAT Test, not the NMSQT PSAT, which is scored between 200-800.

1270 is a good score. I scored 1150 when I took it and ended up getting a 2080 the first time I took the SAT, without any preparation. Your score shows that you have plenty of potential for success on the SAT. As long as you don't slack off a bunch in high school you should be fine.

Answer 3

That was my score and I got into a top 50 school without being in the top 10 percent of my class...maybe that's because it was 10 years ago or maybe it's because I write essays like Emerson...but I still think it's a good score.

Answer 4

Yes-a very good score. Out of 1600, that's excellent. With anything above a 1400, you can get into most honors programs that colleges offer. However, I do not see how it is possible to receive a 1447, when the SAT goes by 10's. Maybe a 1450, or a 1440, but 1447 does not make sense.
