Digital SAT Score Interpreter
Type in your total score, or your Reading and Writing and Math scores, to see the official College Board percentile, a plain-English reading of where you stand, and what to do next. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere; it all runs in your browser.
Or enter your two section scores (optional). If you fill in both, we add them for the total.
Where your score sits
The percentile (user group) for every total score from 400 to 1600. Higher on the chart means a larger share of test takers scored the same or lower.
Enter a score above to see where it falls.
This is a rank among past test takers, not a prediction of your test-day score. Scores can move a few points from one sitting to the next.

Data source
Percentiles come straight from College Board's published tables: College Board Research: SAT Nationally Representative and User Percentiles (retrieved November 5, 2026). A percentile is the share of students whose score is equal to or lower than yours. User group percentiles are based on the actual SAT scores of students who graduated in the past three school years; they are the better comparison for college applications. Nationally representative percentiles are weighted to all U.S. 11th and 12th graders, including students who do not usually take the SAT, so they run higher. College Board updates its tables from time to time, so check its page for the latest.
Digital SAT Facts
- Two sections, Reading and Writing, then Math: 2 hours 14 minutes of testing plus a 10-minute break, taken in College Board's Bluebook app.
- Each section has two timed parts called modules. How you do on the first module decides whether the second is generally harder or easier (adaptive). Your section score uses both.
- Reading and Writing: 54 questions in 64 minutes. Math: 44 questions in 70 minutes, with a calculator allowed throughout.
- Each section is scored 200–800. The two add up to a total of 400–1600, reported in steps of 10.
Questions
Is a 1350 SAT good?
A 1350 total is the 89th percentile among recent SAT test takers (user group) and the 94th percentile among all U.S. 11th and 12th graders, per College Board's table. That is a strong score: above most test takers and in or near the typical range at many selective colleges. The most selective schools usually report higher ranges, and no score guarantees admission anywhere.
What is a good SAT score?
It depends on the colleges on your list. Compare your score with each college's own published range, and remember many colleges do not require a score. The percentile table above shows how common each score is.
Do I need to enter my section scores?
No. A total score is enough. If you add both section scores we add them for you, and you also see where each section sits.
