So what is a good SAT score? The exam consists of three parts: Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing. The scores from each section can range from 200 to 800, so the best possible total score is 2400. The average score for each section is roughly 500, so the AVERAGE total score is about 1500.

1340 would be BELOW AVERAGE.

The New SAT has 2400 as a top score, whereas 1600 was the top SAT I score through January 2005. The 800 "new" points are really the addition of a one-hour "Writing" test (the former SAT II Writing) onto the New SAT.

So it was probably 1600 when Jason took them. (I will go with that even tho I read it was 1400, I can't find any documentation for that.)
