Frequently asked questions

Is 1460 a good SAT score?

A 1460 is at or above the 25th percentile of enrolled students at 113 of the 142 colleges in our dataset that publish an SAT range. It is above the 75th percentile at 61 of them and below the 25th percentile at 29. Whether that is good depends on which of those groups your target schools fall into.

What is a 1460 SAT in ACT terms?

A 1460 SAT is equivalent to an ACT Composite of 33 on the official ACT/SAT concordance published by College Board and ACT. An ACT 33 ranks at the 98th percentile of ACT test takers nationally.

Should I retake the SAT with a 1460?

A retake is worth the most at schools where a 1460 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.
