What is a good SAT score?
The SAT score ranges between 400-1600 for the entire exam and 200-800 for each section separately. So basically, there are cut-off marks that are marked as good scores and it is defined as ‘percentile’. Percentile refers to the percentage of students you scored better than. So, for example, if you scored 85 percentile this means that you scored better than 85 percent of students. What percentile do most universities consider a good score? Anyone scoring more than the 60 percentile is considered to be an above-average performance. Anything below the 30 percentile is the below-average category. However, if you are targeting the top universities in Singapore such as NUS, SMU, or Yale university then you should aim for at least 81 percentile which is around 1250 marks.

Tips and Tricks to excel in SAT
- It is advised that the students shall start with the preparations at least 6 months prior to the test date in order to get sufficient time for the preparation of each segment and avoid the pressure of completing the syllabus in a hasty manner.
Tips for the reading section:-
- Take inferences from the passages to draw conclusions.
- Always understand the theme and point of view of the paragraph in order to frame the answers.
- Thorough reading and analysis is the key to scoring marks in this section. Jumping from paragraph to paragraph and passage to passage will lead to you missing out on some major points.
- Read the first and last paragraph first so that it becomes easy for you to draw conclusions and write answers in sync with the paragraph.
- Read the passage with utter sincerity from top to bottom which will help you to identify the errors appropriately.
Tips for the writing section:-
- In this section, you will be given deliberate errors in the passage and you will be expected to correct or improve those errors.
- Try to edit the passage in the same context as given in the passage.
- Develop good reading skills. This plays the most important role to identify errors and write them in the given context.
- Practice typing as the chances of spelling and grammatical mistakes increase during computer-based examinations.
Tips for the maths sections:-
- The idea behind this is to test the flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency of the students.
- The only key to scoring well in this section is PRACTICE. Practice as many questions as possible in order to get an idea of the pattern and variety of questions.
- Learn elimination methods, linear equations, and graphs as these topics have a high probability of being asked.
- While solving the questions, highlight the important parts so that it becomes easy for you to solve.
- Attempt all the questions as there is no negative marking.
- Skim through the questions before reading the passages to get an understanding of which part to focus upon.
- Take care of your speed and time management as the speed tends to be slow during the Computer based examination. Get personal consulting by visiting our website here.
