This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1010 SAT score.

Is a 1010 SAT bad?

A score of 1010 is a little worse than average. It situates you in the bottom 41st percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your slightly 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 1010 score represents 63% of the total possible points. If a 1010 does not meet the requirements of your preferred college, you might want to consider enrolling in a test prep course to potentially enhance your score.
