How is the SAT scored?

The SAT is scored out of 1600, with 800 points assigned to both the Verbal and Math sections.

What is a competitive SAT score?

Test scores only make up a component of college admissions, but competitive schools in Los Angeles such as USC typically look for scores in the 1400-1600 range from their applicants.

Where do I find SAT practice tests?

The College Board offers official practice tests via their Bluebook app if you’d like to take it online or at home.

When should I start studying for the SAT?

Once you’ve taken a practice test and have an idea of your baseline score, you should plan around how much improvement you’d like to see. Most students will prep at least a few months before their test, and review for 1-2 months before their second and/or third sittings.
