Considering the national average on the SAT was 1028 in 2023, you should consider a score of 1200 on the SAT as nearly 175 points above average. However, being above the national average doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be accepted to the schools you are applying to. Again, check what the average SAT score is for students accepted there. Regardless, you should be proud of scoring a 1200 on the SAT!
