SAT score
Ok, I'm just wondering if 1590 is a good SAT score, because I'm not sure. I know they've changed some things, so can anyone tell me if this is good? I think I should take it again in the fall, what do you think?

That score is a little above average. I would recommend taking it as many times as possible. My counselor told me that each time a student takes it, their score generally improves so it can't hurt to retake it in the fall. I'm in 8th grade, and I took it last year when I was in 7th grade and made a 1110 out of 1600. My friend took the new test and made a 1610 out of 2400. So my friend and I got scores that were relatively equal to each other, but I took the old SAT and she took the new SAT. I'd recommend just retaking it as much as you can and perhaps purchasing a few SAT-prep books to help.

I don't know how the new scale works (I don't think anybody does), but if converted to the 1600 scale, you got a 1060, which is a little higher than average (average being 1000).
After doing a little research, I found that the average score on the new SAT is 1540. So, it seems like the scales are pretty close to each other.
You shouldn't have any trouble getting into a state or community college. If you were aiming for higher than that, you can always retake the SAT to try to get a higher score, or transfer to a "harder to get into" college after a year of attending a different college. I hope that helped you and good luck!

If you took it before March 2005, then 1590 is an AMAZING score because it was out of 1600. But if you took it March 2005 or afterwards, 1590 is not a great score. Now..it is out of 2400.
