When should I start preparing for the SAT?
We recommend beginning preparation 3-6 months before your first intended test date. This allows adequate time to master content, develop strategies, and take multiple practice tests.
How many times should I take the SAT?
Most students take the SAT 2-3 times. We recommend taking your first test after thorough preparation, then reassessing based on your score goals and college deadlines.
What is a good SAT score?
Score competitiveness varies by institution. Here are some guidelines:
1550-1600: Highly competitive for most selective schools
1450-1540: Strong scores for top colleges
1350-1440: Competitive for many universities
1050-1340: Typical range for many four-year colleges
1010: National average
