The SAT\u00ae Scoring System: A Quick Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before diving into the numbers, let\u2019s review how the SAT\u00ae is scored. The test includes two sections: evidence-based reading and writing (ERW) and math. Both of these sections are scored on a scale of 200-800. The total SAT\u00ae score is the sum of these two sections and ranges from 400 to 1600, with 1600 being a perfect score.<\/p>\n

Every year, the College Board releases an annual report that shows the average SAT\u00ae scores for the country<\/a> and every state<\/a>. All the data in this blog post has been pulled from these reports.<\/p>\n

Which States Require the SAT\u00ae?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The role of the SAT\u00ae varies widely across states. In some states, it\u2019s mandatory for graduation or used to meet state accountability requirements. In others, it\u2019s optional and students take it if the colleges or universities they\u2019re applying to require it for admission.<\/p>\n

Currently, there are 10 states that require the SAT\u00ae for graduation. These states are Colorado<\/a>, Connecticut<\/a>, Delaware<\/a>, Indiana<\/a>, Michigan<\/a>, New Hampshire<\/a>, New Mexico<\/a>, Ohio<\/a>, Rhode Island<\/a>, and West Virginia<\/a>. There are several states where the SAT\u00ae is not required, but the state provides funding for an SAT\u00ae School Day, a day when students take the test for free at school. These states include Idaho<\/a>, Maine<\/a>, Oklahoma<\/a>, South Carolina<\/a>, Tennessee<\/a>, as well as Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

National Averages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2024, nearly 2 million students (1,973,891) took the SAT\u00ae! The average total score was 1024, the average ERW score was 519, and the average math score was 505.<\/p>\n

For example, New Mexico had the lowest average SAT\u00ae scores but a 100% participation rate (it\u2019s one of the states where the SAT\u00ae is required). Meanwhile, Kansas had some of the highest scores but only 2% of students (734) took the SAT\u00ae. Interestingly, the majority of students in Kansas (74%) took the ACT\u00ae. Those who chose to take the SAT\u00ae likely did so for college admissions and were probably more prepared and motivated than the average student, thus boosting the state\u2019s scores.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"685b5043-402b-bbcb-e685-6b160cd5d3a1\" data-wf-id=\"["685b5043-402b-bbcb-e685-6b160cd5d3a1"]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-rich-text-input\" data-palette=\"Paragraph\"><strong data-w-id=\"db9975d6-fadc-8a82-b48c-f2db1f21e717\" data-wf-id=\"["db9975d6-fadc-8a82-b48c-f2db1f21e717"]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-rich-text-input\" data-palette=\"Strong\">States with Strong Participation and High Scores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"bc8aaea2-9f45-3c8e-4357-738c294c603c\" data-wf-id=\"["bc8aaea2-9f45-3c8e-4357-738c294c603c"]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-rich-text-input\" data-palette=\"Paragraph\">If we look at states that had both a strong participation rate (20% or higher) and high scores, one state that stands out is <a href=\"https:\/\/progresslearning.com\/schools-districts\/north-carolina\/high-school\/\">North Carolina<\/a>. 23,495 students (20%) took the SAT\u00ae and they had an average total score of 1161 (137 points higher than the national average), an ERW score of 570, and a math score of 557.
