I need to set some goals for my SAT prep. What's the highest possible SAT score that I can aim for?
The highest possible score on the SAT is 1600. This perfect score is a combination of the maximum scores you can achieve in each of the two sections—800 points for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section and 800 points for the Math section. Setting goals for your SAT preparation is a great approach!
Aim for a score that aligns with the middle 50% at the schools you're interested in, but remember that many colleges also consider other aspects of your application, like grades, extracurricular activities, and essays. Good luck with your SAT prep!
