I decided to take a practice SAT for the heck of it -- I went to the official Collegeboard website. I scored 700 on the math and 670 on critical reading. Are these good scores?

Thanks.

2006 College-Bound Seniors' Average Scores

* Critical reading: 503
* Mathematics: 518
* Writing: 497

So yea, according to that, they're good. Don't forget however that a lot of those kids probably didn't do their best on the SAT. I know I didn't. It was probably the last thing on my mind in high school. I took it once, got in college. The end.

Keep it up. The last thing you want to do is fall behind.
 
Damn kid, I am green with envy.

No, it was a full 10-section test. :D
 
If you were in the official Collegeboard website and you got such great scores... why do I think you should be more than capable of finding out whether they were good or not? =P

For real. I'm willing to bet the percentile chart was right there too.

No, I actually looked all over the site... I couldn't find them. Sorry D:
 
  • #12
I averaged out 2200+ on practice tests but ended with a 2080 on the real thing. It was probably because I was used to sleeping at 2 am and had to part for the exam place at 6 am.

I'm fine with no sleep, I'm sort of an insomniac. My problem when taking long tests is my small bladder. =/
