SAT Scores by State – What the Data Means

Average SAT scores vary significantly by state, largely because participation rates differ. States where nearly all students take the SAT (like Florida and Michigan) tend to have lower averages because the full range of students is represented. States where fewer students take the SAT (like Wisconsin or Iowa) often show higher averages because mainly college-bound students opt in. Your national percentile is the most meaningful number for college applications — it tells admissions officers exactly where you stand among all test-takers.
