Hi everyone! I'm preparing for the SAT and I would like to know the highest possible score I can get on the test. Knowing this will help me set a target score for my studying. Thanks for your help!
Hi! The highest possible score you can achieve on the SAT is a 1600. The test is divided into two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 points, and your total score is the sum of the scores from both sections.
As you start preparing for the SAT, it's a good idea to establish a target score based on the colleges you're interested in applying to. Research the average SAT scores for accepted students at those schools, and aim for a score within that range or higher. Setting a goal will help you stay motivated and focused during your study sessions. Good luck with your preparation!
