Hello! I'm gearing up to take the SAT, and I'm trying to set a goal for myself. Can someone tell me the highest possible composite SAT score and how the subscores contribute to it?
Hello! The highest possible composite SAT score is 1600. The SAT has two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, and the composite score is the sum of these two section scores.
The EBRW section is a combination of the Reading and Writing & Language portions. In each of these sections, you'll answer a set of questions, which together contribute to your EBRW score (out of 800 points). The Math section is divided into two modules, both of which contribute to your Math score (also out of 800 points).
To achieve the highest possible composite score of 1600, you would need to earn an 800 in both the EBRW section and the Math section. Best of luck with your SAT preparation!
