The Odds of A Perfect Score

According to the Collegeboard, 269 of the 1.5 million students who took the SAT in 2007 earned a perfect score of 2400. The odds of perfection are almost 6,000 to 1. When I speak about setting realistic goals, I do not assume your goal is to achieve a perfect score. Proper goal setting is an individual matter. In any given year, the average scores for all sections are around 500, or 1500 total.

Who wants to be average? Nobody! Don't be mediocre, strive for much better than the average score. Answering 70% to 75% of the questions correct as a general rule should bring your scores into the 600's. Put in the time necessary to achieve the desired results. There is no greater satisfaction in life than working hard and enjoying the benefits of that effort.
