That score is about the norm. It's an average SAT score. It isn't the best but also not the worste by any means. This kid I go to school with supposedly got a 2200. I think it's complete BS because he's like a stoner/steroidic freak, but hey, it could happen I suppose.

My friend got a perfect, and a scholarship to MIT.

Seriously he did :|

As for the score, take your reading section and your Math section and add them together to look at the score colleges look at, median is like 1000-1300

I haven't even taken the real SAT yet, and I haven't really done much studying at all for it specifically

Average is about 1000. 1300 is a solid score.

I know a ton of druggies who are actually very smart.

I got a 1400 my first go around, but I got another test coming up tomorrow. Hope I get a better score.

I took it before they added the writing section, so I guess I'm of no help.

I haven't taken one that actually counted, but a local college (Duke Univ.) game me the opportunity to take the real SAT with high schoolers in 7th grade. I got somewhere around a 1600. My friend got a just under a 1900...which I think is kinda freaky for some 7th grader.

I guess the new tests are out of 2400. The old ones were out of 1600. I knew a guy who got perfect on the math portion.

1560 is average. I know a lot of people who did not bother studying, and are underachieving because of it. Make sure you put in the effort to study; keep trying practice problems and working on essay writing techniques (time management, clear thesis statement, using personal examples). Your score will almost certainly increase.

Good luck. I took the SAT in October (got a 2110), and I can tell you that if you study you will be fine.
