SAT SCORE
Okay I just got my SAT scores back...
540 math
450 reading
380 writing
It was my first time taking it and i was kind of caught off guard... so i just decided to answer EVERYTHING... even the grid in questions in the math (as in just pick a random number) because i COMPLETELY forgot that wrong answers are minus points... so i didnt leave ANYTHING blank...
I also have almost straight A's in all my classes... just one B usually and rest A's... and i take all the honors and AP classes i can...
So with that will I be accepted to USF??? I know no one really knwos but What's the SAT score that USF is looking for??? (University of South Florida)
And what are the other school's like? usually...
also does anyone knwo about standard SAT score for University of Florida??? (everyone was surprised when my friend with 970 SAT score got accepted)

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
by the way, the grid questions... they don't take off for wrong answers. everything else tho...
schools in florida don't usually ask for that much... butttt i would recommend taking it again.. just not more than 2 or 3 more times. <3

Check out collegeboard.com. They have the SAT and ACT standards for many colleges.
Here are the standards for USF:
Math 510-610
Critical Reading 500-600
Writing 470-570
SAT scores are not the only things that determine if you can get into a school. If your SAT scores are not good but you have loads of extracurriculars, volunteer hours, and a high class rank then you still have a good chance of getting into your school. And those AP classes look good on your transcript too. Since it was your first time taking the SAT, take it as many times as you can before you have to apply for college. It's not a test you can study for, but to do well on it you just have to practice actually taking the test. In a way, it's a measure of your test-taking abilities. Since you know that you screwed up by answering every question, now you know that you will do better next time by not doing that.

I would have to assume that their 970 was from the old SAT, not the new one.
For you, on the old SAT, you would have only gotten a 990. USF's average is 1050-1200 (writing section NOT included). You are roughly 100 points shy of the low average (once again, do NOT include the WRITING SECTION).
Oh, and the grid-math questions, they don't count off points if you get those incorrect because they're not multiple choice.
My suggestion to you, take the SAT again. At least until you get into the 1000s without the writing section. Make sure that when you answer questions to skip those you are 100% clueless of.
Most schools who use the new SAT standards will want around a 1500ish or so.
All you have to do is google the schools that you're interested in, and check out their "profiles' for students.
Here is USF's profile.
