Minimum sat score to get into duke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No single SAT score is "needed," although one might want to consider that the middle range of SAT scores for Duke in Critical Reading is 690-770, and the middle range for Math is 690-780. Generally, being within that middle range of SAT scores is a good bet. However, it's important to keep in mind that SAT scores are not the only thing that a college looks for in an applicant. Having perfect scores won't guarantee one admission, nor will having less than perfect scores keep one from being accepted.

You usually take 2 sets of SATs in your life: one in Year two when you are 6 or 7, and one in Year 6 when you are 10 or 11. Some schools do 'practise' SATs inbetween, and schools used to do SATs in Year Nine as well

Is there a penalty for guessing wrong on the SAT or ACT?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You lose 1/4 point for a wrong answer on the SAT 1 - guessing or not. You are encouraged to guess smart if you can eliminate at least one answer choice, though. On the ACT, however, there is not a guessing penalty so it is strongly encouraged that you answer all questions, even when you do not know the answer.

Is it better to skip or guess a question in the SAT?

If you can recognize one or more of the possible answers on the SAT multiple choice as clearly NOT being correct, but you are unsure of the correct answer, it is better to guess than to skip the question.

Who developed the sat test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the related link below, the SAT exam was initially referred to as the Army Alpha exam, invented by Robert Yerkes during the First World War. It was an IQ test developed to test all recruits to the U.S. Army when he wished to test the IQ level of U.S. Army soldiers. After the war, Yerkes' assistant Carl Brigham started adapting the test for use on college students as a college admissions test.

How long does it take after SAT test to receive a score?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the beginning of the test, you will be given an option to send your score reports to up to 5 schools. It takes 20 days after the test for the reports to reach the schools. This service is included in the $250 test fee.

Additional reports ($28 for a school) take 7 days to reach schools after the date the scores are reportable. So if you took the GMAT more than 20 days ago, your scores should reach schools seven days after you send the reports.

How long does it take colleges to receive SAT scores?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

SAT scores typically become available online to students about 19 days after they take the SAT. At the time scores become available online, students can ask the College Board to mail the scores to a college, either on a rush or regular basis. There is an extra charge of about $27 for sending the scores on a rush basis. According to the website of the College Board, it takes the College Board about 5 weeks to mail an SAT score to a college if regular delivery is requested. If rush delivery is requested, the scores are mailed in two days. After the scores are mailed, it could take another five days or so for the colleges to receive them.

What is in the SAT test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

SAT tests are college entrance tests. They are used in part of the formula to determine if a student is admitted into a college. They may also be used for placement purposes once a student gets into college. For example, if they score high enough on the SAT, they may not have to take other placement tests and are able to directly enroll in upper-level courses or non-remedial coursework.

What is the average SAT score of Ivy League students?

Asked by Wiki User

It might be more useful to take the schools' reported numbers as reported to both US News and on their own common data sets.

These numbers are interpolated between the 25th and 75th percentile numbers reported. They should be very close to the mean/median numbers. Only the critical reading and math sections of the SAT are used for this combined score.

  • Harvard: 2195
  • Yale: 2195
  • Princeton: 2185
  • Columbia: 2150
  • Penn: 2130
  • Dartmouth: 2140
  • Cornell: 2095
  • Brown: 2130

Others:

  • MIT: 2235
  • Stanford: 2145
  • CalTech: 2210
  • Duke: 2140
  • Chicago: 2130
  • Northwestern: 2135
  • Washington University in St. Louis: 2150
  • Johns Hopkins: 2095
  • Rice: 2120
  • Emory: 2085
  • Notre Dame: 2105
  • Vanderbilt: 2090
  • Cal Berkeley: 2045

What is the possibility of missing every single question on the SATs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not sure the exact answer but I can help you calculate this. Let's say the whole SAT has 100 questions. Let's also say that each question has four possible choices (A,B,C,D). The the possibility of missing every single question in this setting is 3/4 to the 100th power, or 3/4*3/4*3/4 a hundred times. This ends up being 0.00000000000032. Now, the chances of getting every question right (assuming one is guessing at every question) in this setting, is 1/4 to the 100th power, or 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000062. So one can see, that it is much harder to guess every question right than it is to quess every question wrong, but both are very hard to do, like winning the lottery.

Are points subtracted for wrong answers on the sat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but only by 1/4 of a percentage point. This means that it is almost *always* better to guess at an answer on the new SAT as opposed to skipping it. The law of probability is that you are going to guess at least one out of every four right, which will, in turn, cancel out the three you got wrong.

If you can eliminate at least one of the available answer choices, you further raise your probabilities, which means that by learning simple SAT test-taking strategies, you can significantly raise your SAT average score.
