Getting to 1200 on the SAT isn't out of reach — it requires focused practice, but it's a score that dedicated students achieve with the right study plan.

• Understand the scoring scale: On the 1600-point scale, a 1200 shows competency across key skills and opens doors to many colleges.
• Identify your starting point: Take a full practice test first to see how close you already are and which sections need the most work.
• Target common question types: The SAT tests a predictable set of skills in algebra, data analysis, grammar, and reading comprehension — mastering these covers most of the exam.
