Frequently asked questions
Is 1210 a good SAT score?
A 1210 is at or above the 25th percentile of enrolled students at 49 of the 142 colleges in our dataset that publish an SAT range. It is above the 75th percentile at 2 of them and below the 25th percentile at 93. Whether that is good depends on which of those groups your target schools fall into.
What is a 1210 SAT in ACT terms?
A 1210 SAT is equivalent to an ACT Composite of 25 on the official ACT/SAT concordance published by College Board and ACT. An ACT 25 ranks at the 83rd percentile of ACT test takers nationally.
Should I retake the SAT with a 1210?
A retake is worth the most at schools where a 1210 is below the 25th percentile, because that is where your score is working against you. At schools where you are already inside the middle 50%, a retake is optional. At schools where you are above the 75th percentile, the SAT is no longer what holds your application back.
