Hey there folks! So I'm starting to feel the pressure as my SAT date approaches and I've been wondering - just out of curiosity, honestly - what's the highest possible score you can get on the SAT? Is it 1600, or has it been updated?
Yes, the highest possible score you can get on the SAT is 1600. This includes the two main sections: Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and Math, each scored on a scale from 200 to 800. The two section scores are added together to give your full score out of 1600. Just to clarify, there is no longer an SAT essay, it was removed in 2021. So, your SAT score will purely come from these two main sections. Good luck with your upcoming SAT!
