Hey guys, I'm a bit confused about SAT scores. I've heard different things about what the maximum score is. Could someone clarify what the highest possible SAT score is? Thank you!
Absolutely, I'd be happy to clarify this for you. The highest possible score you can achieve on the SAT is 1600. The test is divided into two sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 - 800, and these two scores are combined for your total score. So, an 800 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and an 800 in Math would yield the maximum score of 1600. I hope this helps clear up any confusion!
