Is a 1070 SAT Score Good?

A 1070 out of 1600 is around average for test takers nationally — approximately the 45th percentile, meaning you scored at or above roughly 45% of students. It converts to an ACT score of about 21 on the official concordance.

What a 1070 means for your college list

Measure	Value
Approximate national percentile	45th
Equivalent ACT score	21
Colleges where this is at or above the 75th percentile	6
Colleges where this falls inside the middle 50%	74
Colleges where this is below the 25th percentile	197

Those counts are drawn from the 277 four-year colleges in our dataset that report SAT ranges. A score above a college’s 75th percentile makes testing a strength in that applicant pool; inside the range it is neutral; below the 25th percentile the rest of the application has to do the work.
