Hey guys! I'm confused about the SAT and its maximum score. How much can one actually score on it? A little clarity would really help. Thanks!
Hi there! To answer your question, as of when the SAT went fully digital in spring 2024, the highest possible score on the SAT is 1600. The test is divided into two sections: Reading/Writing and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, and these scores are added together to give your total SAT score. So, if you get a perfect score of 800 in each section, your total SAT score would be 1600. I hope this clears things up for you!
