Is 1770 a good sat score?

Answer 1

Well, this is certainly an above average score. But Good/ Bad/Great is all very relative.You see, 1770 is not good for colleges like Harvard, Vassar, Amherst , UCLA. But it is okay for some very nice colleges like Earlham, Gettysburg, and so on. And further this is a great score for Wichita State, Ceveland state. Thus it depends upon where you are applying.

Further you must remember that Scores aren't everything in a College Admission, most colleges have a very qualitative basis of admission. So Best of luck, don't worry, and put your best in the Essay (this a very crucial part of application).

All the best.

Answer 2

Depends on what kind of goals you have set for yourself. If you're shooting for Ivy League schools or anything close to that, then 1710 is a little low. But it's a competitive score if your applying to a public college in your state or other lower-tier colleges. If you still have the opportunity to take the test again and you think you can do better, then I'd recommend you take it again.

Also don't over-emphasize your standardized test scores since your grades and the rigor of your courses in high school are also very important to colleges.

Answer 3

The average SAT score is usually around 1500. The standard deviation (SD) for each subject is about 100, but SD for the entire SAT is different (look online for full details). Overall, a 1700 is definitely above average compared with the rest of the U.S.

However, a 1700 may or may not be a good score when applying to college. If you apply to a prestigious school such as Harvard or MIT, the average SAT scores range from 2000 to 2300, so a 1700 will place you at a disadvantage. This doesn't mean you'll automatically get rejected; you still have a chance (as long as you have impressive credentials). A 1700 at a regular state university, on the other hand, may be above the average score.

Answer 4

SAT tests are important for getting into college. A SAT score of 1790 is a very good score for a junior high school student.
