What's exactly a good SAT score ?

Personally I think a “good” score is around a 1700 or above? The score average is slightly higher than 1500, and a 1700 is well above average.



I think the standard deviation is designed to be 100 for each section (at least that’s what I was taught in my statistics class). That would put 1700 in the top edge of the IQR (middle 50%). I guess it depends on personal standards, but I would see that as solid at best. I guess that brings me to the real point: there’s no absolute standard for what’s a “good” score. Just set a goal based on your own ability and try to blow it out of the water.
