Dreaming Big: Perfect SAT Score?

This might seem kinda out there, but... what's a perfect score on the SAT? Just want to know the mountain I’m trying to climb here.

3 months ago

A perfect score on the SAT is 1600. The test is divided into two sections, each scored out of 800: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Achieving a perfect score is a significant accomplishment that few students manage – in fact, only about 0.02% of test-takers score a full 1600.

Keep in mind that while reaching for a perfect score can be motivating, a high score alone doesn't guarantee admission into top colleges. They place considerable emphasis on other aspects of your application - like your GPAs, your extracurriculars, and your essays - as well. Reach for the stars but don't lose sight of the ground! Best of luck on your SAT prep journey.
