Hey everyone, I've been hearing people talk about 'full scores' on the SAT. Just wondering, what is considered a perfect score now since the changes in recent years?
Hey there! Since the changes to the SAT in 2016, a perfect score is now 1600. The test is divided into two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math. Each section has a maximum score of 800 points, and when you add those together, you get the highest possible score of 1600. So, nowadays, when people refer to a "full SAT score," they're talking about achieving a 1600. Good luck with your test preparation!
