For counselors, teachers and writers
Assets you can take and use
Three things worth having in a slide deck or a parent handout, published as copy-paste code rather than as a download you have to trade an email address for. Use them anywhere, commercially or not. The only condition is that the attribution link stays.
If you want the gated one instead, the Score Vault is a full PDF and does ask for an email.
SAT score percentile chart
An SVG, so it stays sharp at any size in a slide or a print handout. Loads from this site, which means it stays current if the percentile tables move.

SAT percentile table
The same data as HTML, for when you need selectable text rather than an image — a document, an email to a family, or a page of your own. Inline styles only, so it survives being pasted anywhere.
| Total | Percentile | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| 1600 | ~99th | Perfect |
| 1550 | ~98th | Top 2% |
| 1500 | ~95th | Top 5% |
| 1450 | ~91st | Top decile |
| 1400 | ~85th | Very strong |
| 1300 | ~73rd | Strong |
| 1200 | ~58th | Above average |
| 1150 | ~50th | Median |
| 1050 | ~33rd | Near the national average |
| 1000 | ~26th | Below average |
| 800 | ~10th | Bottom decile |

Digital SAT test-day checklist
The device and test-day steps that actually go wrong, in the order they need doing. The Chromebook line alone prevents a ruined test day most years.
Digital SAT test-day checklist
Two to three weeks out
- Install Bluebook, sign in, and run a full practice exam on the exact device you will bring.
- Personal Chromebook? It will not work — sort an alternative now.
- School Chromebook? Confirm Verified Mode is on and that you may take it off-site.
- No device at all? Request a loaner about a month out. That deadline does not flex.
- Approved for text-to-speech? Buy wired, non-recording headphones.
Test week
- Open Bluebook and let it update. It ships changes on its own schedule.
- Check your admission ticket for the reporting time, not the start time.
The day before
- Complete exam setup so the test content is downloaded to the device.
- Put your photo ID and admission ticket in your bag — in the bag, not on the counter.
- Charge the device to 100%.
The morning
- Pack the charger anyway. Centers cannot guarantee a seat near an outlet.
- Leave smart glasses, smartwatches and earbuds at home.
- Eat beforehand. The 10-minute break is the only one you get.

Free for any use, including commercial, provided the attribution link back to this site stays visible. If you need a variant — different scores, your own branding alongside, a print-resolution export — email me and I'll make it.
