Hi there!

The good news is, it’s not actually possible to fail the SAT. There’s no “passing” score to meet. However, you may be unhappy with the score you get the first time you take the test. If this is the case, we recommend taking it again (and perhaps even another time after that). It’s very common to take the SAT multiple times, and it’s very possible to significantly raise your score from one test to another. Our [SAT Prep program](https://www.prepscholar.com/sat-test-prep/) walks you through this process, and [you can also read this article on taking the SAT multiple times.](https://blog.prepscholar.com/how-many-times-should-you-take-the-sat)

Hope this helps!

Christine
