Hello everyone, been doing a lot of SAT practice and I was wondering, what is the highest possible score on the SAT? I've seen quite a bit of conflicting information - could someone verify this for me? Thanks!
As of the spring of 2024, the SAT switched to a digital format, which changed the way scores are reported. The highest potential score on the current digital SAT is 1600 — 800 for the Reading and Writing section, and 800 for the Math section. Scoring well on the SAT might significantly enhance your college admissions chances, but remember, many universities also place a strong emphasis on other factors, like grades, course rigor, and extracurriculars. Best of luck with your test prep!
