Hey everyone, I've seen various numbers floating around, but what's the highest possible SAT score? Just wanted to know how close I am to the top. Thanks!
The highest possible SAT score is 1600. This score is a composite of two sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with a perfect 800 in both sections giving you that top 1600 score. To find out how close you are to that perfect score, you'll want to compare your individual section scores to the maximum of 800. Keep in mind that a perfect score is quite rare, so give yourself some credit for your accomplishments so far. Good luck!
