Is a 950 SAT bad?

A score of 950 is pretty low. It situates you in the bottom 31st percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your well below average performance in answering questions in the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the exam. The SAT is scored out of a maximum of 1600 and a minimum of 400, meaning your 950 score represents 59% of the total possible points.
