So what does this all mean? On a personal level, a good SAT score is one that is both realistically achievable for your child, and is also within range for his or her university choices. Most universities will publish their range of scores for students they accepted, and as a general rule, we suggest to target to score at least within 50% percentile of that range for your child’s preferred universities.
As there are only four test dates per year to take the SAT Reasoning Test, it is critical to prepare well and in advance. To figure out the best preparation plan for your child, we suggest to start by taking a mock test and then going through it with someone familiar with the test.
