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. The SAT is scored out of a maximum of 1600 and a minimum of 400, meaning your 1120 score represents 70% of the total possible points.
