Just curious, what's the lowest possible SAT score someone could get? I know the highest is 1600, just wondering what the starting point is.
The lowest possible SAT score is 400. The SAT consists of two sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, meaning the minimum score you could get on each section is 200. When you add the lowest section scores (200 for ERW and 200 for Math), you get a combined total of 400 as the lowest possible SAT score.
