Average scores are shown on the original (1941/1942) SAT scale through senior class year 1995. Average scores from 1967 to the present are also shown on the current SAT scale, as follows. Data for 1967 to 1986 were converted to the re-centered scale by using a formula applied to the original mean and standard deviation. For 1987 to 1995, individual student scores were converted to the re-centered scale and then the mean was recomputed. For 1996 to 1999, nearly all students received scores on the re-centered scale; any score on the original scale was converted to the re-centered scale prior to recomputing the mean. From 2000 on, all scores have been reported on the re-centered scale.

Data prior to class year 1967 include all tests taken by all participants and may include students other than seniors. Data for class years 1967 through 1971 are estimates derived from the test scores of all participants. Data for class years 1972 through 2006 include seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through March of their senior year. Data for class years 2007 to 2015 include seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through June of their senior year. Data for class year 2016 includes seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through January, 2016. If a student took a test more than once, the most recent score was used. Possible scores on each part of the SAT range from 200 to 800. The critical reading section was formerly known as the verbal section.
