Why Set a Score Target?  \nTarget scores are useful to calculate because they help you set realistic goals that are based on schools you’ll be applying to, rather than on some arbitrary standard that has no real justification behind it.  \nBy creating concrete, results-oriented scores to aim for, you’ll not only increase your chances of a successful outcome (getting into the schools you want), but, since the relationship between the scores and acceptance at colleges you wish to attend is so linear, you might even be more motivated to study to reach these goals .  \n3  \n1: Why Set a Score Target?  \nThe steps you'll follow for finding your target SAT Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing scores are similar to what you'd do to find your overall SAT target score . If you haven't done this already, stop now and read our free resource on how to calculate your SAT target score, then come back to this book; it's far more important to set an overall SAT score target than it is to calculate individual section score targets .  \nPrint Out These Worksheets  \nTo mathematically determine the target Math and EBRW scores you should be aiming for, we'll be filling out two worksheets for all the schools you're interested in . I highly recommend printing out the next two pages before going any further.  \n4  \n2 . SAT Math Score Target Worksheet  \nMy SAT Math Score Target  \nMath Target Score:    \n(we recommend you use the average 75th percentile new SAT score calculated above)  \n5  \n3. SAT Evidence-­‐Based Reading & Writing Score Target Worksheet  \nMy SAT EBRW Score Target  \nEBRW Target Score:    \n(we recommend you use the average 75th percentile new SAT score calculated above)  \n6  \n4. Calculating Your Score Targets  \nGot the two worksheets printed out? We’ll be filling out each line of these worksheets .  \nStep 1: Fill In Your Target Schools  \nFirst, fill in the schools you want to get into on the left. These might be schools that you already know you want to apply to, including your dream or \"reach\" schools; however, don't include safety schools (schools that you're 90% sure that you're going to get accepted to) .  \nIf you're not sure yet what schools you want to apply to, go ahead and put down any schools you've heard of, or schools that your friends are interested in . We do recommend, however, that you research the schools  \n7  \n4: Calculating Your Score Targets  \nbefore calculating your target score, though, so you'll get a sense of what scores you'll need to get into the schools you're interested in and if they're realistic for you given other factors like your high school GPA.  \nStep 2: For Each School, Google “[Name of School] PrepScholar”  \nFor example, if I'm interested in University of Michigan, I'll do the following search:  \n8  \n4: Calculating Your Score Targets  \nMost schools will have a [PrepScholar.com](PrepScholar.com) link, as shown on the previous page . If you don't find one, try using the National Center for Education Statistic's IPEDS Data Center to look up the school's Admissions and Test Scores information; the data will be older but will still be official.  \nAlternatively, you can try searching \"[name of school] average sat scores\" to see if the scores are listed on t","cbCaigXV2dUSBYVR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigXV2dUSBYVR","pdf",4583049,16,"English","# Why Set a Score Target?\n# SAT Math Score Target Worksheets\n# SAT EBRW Score Target Worksheet\n# Calculating Your Score Targets\n# When Section Scores Matter\n# And Now What?","[{\"question\":\"What do 25th and 75th percentile scores mean for your chances of admission?\",\"answer\":\"A 75th percentile score indicates a strong chance of getting in.
