    1920

    Explanation:

    Since you are using the z-score with 95% of area under the curve to its left, to get only the top students, you need to multiply (1.645 x standard deviation) + mean to determine the minimum SAT score.

    minimum SAT score to fall under the top 95% = (1.645 x 250) + 1,500 = 411.25 + 1500 = 1911.25 ≈ 1920 (round up)
