What does your SAT percentile mean?
Your percentile is the percentage of test-takers who scored at or below your score. Colleges and scholarships often think in percentiles, so it's a more useful comparison than the raw number alone. A 1350, for example, lands around the 91st percentile nationally.
Which percentiles are these?
These follow College Board's Nationally Representative Sample percentiles, which estimate how the entire population of U.S. students would score — not just those who actually took the test.
