What’s a good SAT score?

There’s no definitive answer to this question. A good SAT score depends on the student and the school! The best thing a student can do is set a goal. Students should base their goal off their starting scores and their college goals. It’s best to aim for a target score 100-200 points above your starting level (Capstone’s average score improvement is 160 points).

Students can find the average SAT score for admitted students at their target schools online. By hitting that goal, you aren’t guaranteed admission, but you'll increase your odds of being accepted and earning scholarship funds.
