How do universities use SAT score ranges?

<p>I notice that for some SATs they have score ranges, while others do not. I’m confused by the ranges, such as 1500-1750, and just a 1600 score. Do universities take the average of score ranges, just use the score range, what about single score etc… I’m just confused on how all of this works, can anyone explain? Thanks</p>

<p>Also, how would you know if the SAT your taking is single or ranged score?</p>

<p>the SAT range for the university you see on collegeboard, is the mid 50% SAT scores of students that were accepted recently. </p>

<p>I took the SAT end of sophomore year and got an 800 on math. Next time i take it, i might miss one or even two questions. I might get a 760 (or worse depending on the curve). That is, i think, your score range. You got a 760 but it was because you missed one question that wasn’t a number 20 question but you just made an error in it or something.</p>

<p>Oh no, I’m talking about in the SAT blue book, the grading scale given for a few test scores are all within a range, no definite score as a few other test. So far I’ve done about 3 practice test and one had a different scoring scale range.</p>
