Your scores tell college admissions staff how you did compared with other students who took the test. For example, if you scored close to the mean or average — about 500 on SAT critical reading and 500 on SAT mathematics — admissions staff would know that you scored as well as about half of the students who took the test nationally.

SWTXBelle, thank you for posting that. I knew that when I took the SATs the scoring range was 200-800, and although scoring has been adjusted from time to time since then, I hadn't heard of anything like 500 being a top score for math and critical reading.
