SAT College Score Range Calculator

It describes the middle half of the reported comparison cohort. At the 25th percentile, 25% scored at or below that value; at the 75th percentile, 25% scored at or above it. Confirm whether the source describes enrolled students, admitted students, or score submitters.

No. The range describes past students and does not convert into an individual admission probability. Colleges consider different academic and contextual factors, and each institution sets its own testing policy.

No. It only places the score above the upper boundary of the reported range you entered. It does not evaluate the rest of an application or predict an admission decision.

No. Some students in the reported cohort scored below that boundary, and testing is only one part of an application. Use the result to plan, not to rule yourself in or out.

Prefer the college's official admission or institutional-research site. Many institutions publish the values in section C9 of their Common Data Set. Record the reporting year and cohort definition with the numbers.

Ranges and testing policies can change from one entering class to another. An older range may not describe the current applicant environment, so check the newest official source available.

At a test-optional college, the published range may reflect only the students who submitted scores. That group can differ from the whole enrolled class, so also look for the percentage of enrolled students who submitted SAT scores.

No. This calculator compares SAT total scores on the 400–1600 scale. Do not enter a 200–800 Reading & Writing or Math section score into these fields.
