These colleges are a good match for you

Is a 1120 SAT good?

A score of 1120 is a little better than average. It situates you in the top 63rd percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your slightly above average performance in answering questions in the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the exam.
