SAT Target Score Calculator

Replace an arbitrary “1600” goal with a working band you can test against timed practice and revise as new evidence arrives.

Choose a planning target

This heuristic considers score headroom and preparation time. It does not predict your maximum score or admission outcome.

Target style

How the target heuristic works

The calculator starts with current section scores, then uses preparation time and remaining score headroom to create a planning band. Higher baselines have less numerical headroom. Grade level changes the timeline guidance—not the calculated ceiling—because age does not determine a student's potential.

Compare with school-specific information separately

This tool does not contain a college admissions dataset. If testing supports an application, verify each institution's current policy and published score ranges on its official admissions site.
