High SAT Scores & College Admission<\/span><\/h2>\n

After your student has taken their first SAT test, you will have a much better idea of where to focus your efforts for college admission. This is done by comparing your student\u2019s SAT score to the school\u2019s published mid-50% SAT score range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you find the mid-50% SAT test score range? Most colleges will post this somewhere on their website, but it can be easier to use a site like collegedata.com for this information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are looking at a specific college on collegedata.com, you can find the mid-50% SAT score ranges (or the ACT score range) in the Qualifications of Enrolled Freshmen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mid-50% SAT test score range can be the main way to figure out difficulty of admission for a particular school.
