Is a 880 SAT bad?

A score of 880 is in the lower quarter. It situates you in the bottom 19th percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your poor 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 880 score represents 55% of the total possible points. If a 880 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.
