Hey guys! I'm trying super hard to get a 5-star score on the Math SAT. Does anybody know what the highest possible score for this section is?
The SAT is divided into two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Each of these sections is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, adding up to a total composite score range of 400 to 1600.
So, for the Math section specifically, the highest score you can receive is an 800. This would indeed be considered a 'perfect' score as it's the highest attainable on that portion of the test.
Keep in mind, aiming for perfection is commendable, but so is showings significant improvement and consistent effort. Aim high, but don't stress too much if you don't hit an 800; colleges consider more than just test scores when reviewing applications. Remember to incorporate strategies for studying and practice regularly with high-quality resources to develop your skills and confidence in the SAT Math section.
