Enter any SAT total score to see its approximate national percentile rank based on the most recent released College Board data.
Percentile is useful for national context, but admissions decisions are made school by school. A high percentile can still be below range at a top engineering program, and a lower percentile can be strong for a regional public university or scholarship cutoff.
| Percentile range | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| 95th+ | Strong for selective colleges, but still compare against each school's middle 50% range. | Protect easy points and drill hard-module misses. |
| 75th-94th | Above average to strong; section split determines the best improvement path. | Use the score calculator and drill the weaker section. |
| Below 75th | There is likely broad score upside from fundamentals and pacing. | Start with easy/medium bank questions and review every miss. |

Estimate your SAT Math and Reading & Writing score from your raw performance.
A percentile tells you the percentage of test takers you scored higher than. A 90th percentile score means you scored higher than 90% of all SAT test takers.
Approximate percentiles based on the most recent College Board SAT test taker population data.
A 1200 SAT score is approximately the 75th percentile, meaning you scored higher than about 75% of SAT takers.
Percentiles are equated across test dates, so a 1400 on any SAT administration represents roughly the same percentile rank.
