Is a 1580 a good score for the new sat?
Your score of 1580 is better than average. The average on the SAT exam is 1500. Thus, you were 80 pts above average. Although your score was above average, it is not a great score. If you are planning on getting into the more competitive UC schools such as Berkeley and UCLA, you mus get a higher score. I highly recommend using Tutorfox. Tutorfox.com sells its guide for only 10 dollars, and it written by two students who scored a 2400 and a 2350 on the exam. Let me know if you need any more help and/or info. With a bit more studying your score will sky rocket…so get to it. I think you have a decent shot at getting into those schools, but you should study to ensure that you get in…
