Hey, just a quick question. What's the max score you can get on the SAT? I've seen people mention different scores, so I'm kinda confused. Thanks for the help!
Hey there! The maximum score you can achieve on the SAT is 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, and the scores for both sections are combined to give you your overall SAT score. So, when people say they're aiming for a perfect score, they mean getting an 800 on both sections, which adds up to 1600. Good luck with your SAT prep!
