I've been prepping for the SAT test for a while now and I know I shouldn't worry too much about my score, but just out of curiosity, what's the highest score anyone can get? I might as well aim high, right?
The highest possible score you can achieve on the SAT is a 1600. This is calculated by adding the highest possible score for each of the two sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math, each with a maximum of 800 points. Also, there's no penalty for incorrect answers, so be sure to answer every question. Remember, while aiming for a high score is good, it's also important to balance this with nurturing your strengths in other areas such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters, as college admissions evaluate applications holistically. Best of luck in your preparations!
