What's the max score someone can get on the Math section of the SAT?

So I've seen a lot about the highest total SAT score you can get, but I'm curious what the max score specifically for the Math section is. Does anyone happen to know?

The highest possible score on the Math section of the SAT is 800, out of a total score of 1600. This is because the SAT quantifies its scores into two subsections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200-800, adding up to the maximum total score of 1600. Keep in mind a perfect score is rare and not required for admission into many colleges. Colleges will also closely consider your grades, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation. But, if you're aiming for a high Math score, practice is key!
