When will my SAT scores be available?

After a test date, scores generally are available online in about 19 days and by mail in about 27 days. Scores by phone are released on the same schedule as scores by web, but require an additional fee.

How many times can I take the SAT?

Although you can take the test as often as you want, most students take it once or twice — typically in spring of junior year and again in fall of senior year.

What is a good SAT score?

The SAT scores required for college admission vary. You’ll want to research each of your prospective colleges to find out their requirements. You also can visit with our Center Director to discuss this important topic. Huntington test prep programs lead to a significant increase in test scores — on average, 229 points on the SAT and 5.4 points on the ACT.

How is the SAT scored?

The SAT has two major areas: evidence-based reading & writing and math. Each area is scored on a scale from 200 to 800. These two scores are combined to produce an overall SAT score of 400-1600.

Unlike the previous SAT, this digital version adjusts based on your answers to the questions, which each have a numerical weight. Your overall score doesn’t just look at your performance overall in a subject, it also takes into account how many of the more challenging questions you were able to answer correctly. Getting the more difficult second module works to your benefit when it comes to achieving the highest score possible.
