Is a 1120 SAT Score Good?

A 1120 out of 1600 is around average for test takers nationally — approximately the 54th percentile, meaning you scored at or above roughly 54% of students. It converts to an ACT score of about 22 on the official concordance.

What a 1120 means for your college list

Measure	Value
Approximate national percentile	54th
Equivalent ACT score	22
Colleges where this is at or above the 75th percentile	19
Colleges where this falls inside the middle 50%	85
Colleges where this is below the 25th percentile	173

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.
