Please keep in mind that scores may be released in 2 – 4 weeks time from exam date  After they are released, scores are sent to colleges in ten days if requestd by the student. 

How can the student view their exam results?

Universities have different requirements for SAT scores based on the school, its policies, and their level of competition. High-tier universities often require SAT scores between 1200 and 1400, or higher, out of a possible 1600. It’s important to remember, though, that every university has unique requirements for SAT scores, and they might differ greatly from one school to another next. While some extremely competitive institutions may view scores closer to 1300 as competitive, others may have typical SAT scores considerably above 1500. Students must so thoroughly investigate the precise SAT score requirements of the colleges to which they wish to apply.  In conclusion scoring 1200 is considered as the minimum score for SAT at most universities around the world.
