What a 1100 SAT score means

A 1100 is above average. On College Board’s current tables it sits at the 62nd percentile of students who took the SAT, so you scored at or above roughly 62% of test-takers (top 38%). Measured against all US juniors and seniors, including those who never take the test, it is the 67th percentile. The national average total is about 1025, so a 1100 is 75 points above the average. On the official concordance it is equivalent to about a 22 composite on the ACT.

Which colleges a 1100 fits

Admissions readers compare your score with the middle-50% range of admitted students, published in each college’s Common Data Set. A 1100 is inside the middle-50% range at many public universities and above it at most regional and less selective colleges. Ranges move a little each year, and a growing number of colleges are test-optional, so check each college’s current policy; the good-score guide lists sample ranges.

How a 1100 breaks down

The total is the sum of two sections scored 200–800, so several combinations produce a 1100:

Reading and WritingMathTotal
5505501100
6005001100
5006001100

Colleges see both sections, and STEM programs in particular look at Math on its own, so a 1100 built on a strong Math score reads differently from the same total the other way round. With balanced sections on the harder Module 2 path, a 1100 takes roughly 35 of 54 correct in Reading and Writing and 27 of 44 in Math; try your own numbers in the score calculator.

Moving a 1100 up

The next band starts at 1200 (Good), 100 points away. Near this part of the scale each extra correct answer is worth roughly 10–15 points, so that is about 7 more questions right, spread across both sections. At this level the fastest gains usually come from the grammar rules in Reading and Writing and the core algebra in Math, and from being accurate on Module 1 so you are routed to the harder Module 2. See how to improve your SAT score, and remember that most colleges superscore, so a retake can target one section.
