SAT scores etiquette

<p>When people ask your SAT scores, do you say the total of the three sections or just the M+CR? Do you say percentiles?
I just want to be clear when people ask instead of overdoing the information or misrepresenting my scores.
Thanks,

<p>Don’t feel the need to be specific if you don’t want to. I’d say something like, “I was happy with them.” :wink: Only a moron would push.</p>

<p>The etiquette is not to discuss scores. Report them to the schools to which you are applying. And tell your parents. No one else needs to know.</p>

<p>If someone asks and you WANT to tell them, most people want to hear your overall score (all 3 combined). You can use percentiles if you’d like to be a little more cryptic.</p>

<p>If you’re talking to a parent or someone who doesn’t know the grading scale then percentiles may be appropriate.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
