Students are often concerned that if they take the SAT or ACT more than once, and get a lower score, that's what they'll be stuck with. That is not necessarily the case! SAT & ACT superscore!
As the graphic above depicts, a top SAT score puts students in the top 10% of all test takers with a combined score range of 1360-1600, consisting of a Math score of 690-800 and a Reading and Writing Score of 670-800. A competitive score of 1210-1340 puts students in the top 25% of all test takers, consisting of a Math score of 600-680 and a Reading and Writing score of 610-660. An above-average score of 1070-1190 puts students in the top half of test takers, but won’t be as advantageous when applying to highly competitive programs, with a Math score of 530-590 and a Reading and Writing score of 540-660. A below-average score of 400-1050, consisting of a Math Score of 200-520 and a Reading and Writing Score of 200-530, puts students below average compared to the testing population, but the combined score may be enough to get into a wide variety of college programs.

Things to know:
If you qualify for free or reduced lunch, you get fee application waivers, send scores for free and you can take the SAT for FREE! You will have to fill out your school's lunch form to qualify.
If you list the schools you want your scores sent to on the day you register or the day you test, they will be sent for free! I do want to add that you should be cautious when doing this. Once a college/university has your scores, they can't un-see what you sent them and this could affect scholarship opportunities.
But, what if?
What do you do when you don't know the answer or run out of time?
Is there a penalty for guessing?
Is there a method to guessing?
